How about this bargin turbo system for my Z? http://www.airpowersystems.com/corvette/tts07.htm
Can you believe that is considered "inexpensive"? 
EDIT: not sure if it lists the price, but the kit is $11k plus shipping.
meh.........don't go FI on the Z. Boost+LS7 = boom. not a good motor for that. n/a ftw.
+1
The LS7 was meant to remain N/A. Cam and heads will have you safely 640rwhp...
I just had to ask Katech: Can you make 640 rwhp on the Z06 with all the bolt ons, heads and a cam. Their answer:

You're going to need boost or a lot more displacement. That would be like 720 at the crank (over 100hp/Liter).
Their answer - not mine.

It's called the Rx 750 package. 640rwhp N/A. 7.0L

You're joking, right?
Here is the rest of Katech's response.

640rwhp out of a NA 7.0L LS7 is laugh-able.
You're starting to sound like a fanboi!
EDIT: Also it a completely built enigine. See here: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/showthread.php?t=1474740&page=2

No seriously Vette doctors > Katech
Once again you have ran to Corvette forums trying to defuse my claim.
That was a 640rwhp 7.0L N/A LS7...was it not?
Not laugh-able at all...
Your Katech expert said that more displacement or F/I was needed...which obviously is not the case.
There was also another Vette doctors kit making 620hp - the beefed up internals.

I don't run anywhere. I visit that forum all the time. Katech claims it was bs and I believe them. They are Katech, for Christ's sake. Also, you said heads/cams will safely net 640 rwhp - no mention of a ton of internal work like that (assuming do dyno manipulation). That is a false statement. You say what needed to be done to achieve those mythical numbers.
I'm done. There is no winning with you. Heads/cams and you got 640 rwhp. I give up.
