18% supercharger overdrive pulley. Long tube headers. Air intake and a tune. I'll have a lot of cooling mods as well but those don't really affect the horsepower initially at least. I've been told to expect around 650 to 680 to the wheels with those mods. I'm not 100% sure on the long tube headers though, I don't think I like how loud it gets. What do you think?
@Maximus0917685 жыл бұрын
HorsePower Obsessed I’d do the LT headers if I had the $$$ as well as the lower pulley. That’d be next. Do the headers. You can drive in Stealth for a break. My goal is 750rwhp and torque as high.

When I went to Spring Mountain, Nora Roper, the Assistant Plant Manager at the Corvette Assembly Plant was in my class. I asked her what I should expect my “life” of my tires to be. I had heard 5,000 miles and when I went to Spring Mountain, I had 10,000. She told me that they had a test car at the plant that had 11,000 miles and still tread left. That gave me some reassurance, because I’ve never tracked my car or drove it hard. And when I replaced them at 17,000 miles, they were worn, but they were not horrible.

Unless you track the car the Z07 package makes no sense. The aero actually makes the car slower, the suspension gets to stiff for street. The carbon ceramic you can get after market, but honestly takes ten minutes to power wash wheel brake dust. I predict this guy will get a ZR1 anyway.
