So dont let that get in your way. If you are going non z06 make sure you get the z51 package, its worth it. Also side by side an 07 Z51 vs and 08 Z51 doesnt feel that much different on the street. Do headers and rod bolts with a ATI Procharger D-1SC setup around 10lbs and your 600whp is about there, but you are on the limits of pumpgas, we have meth cars leaning more towards 640whp but thats a stretch on the stock motor. (on a side note we did the first production Z06 kit) 600whp @ 4.5psi on stock exhaust 10.60's on pump gas... either choice these cars drive 100% like stock and its not uncommon to see up to 30mpg on the highway with the ATI combination.

good to know, thanks! I definitely want the new motor, and Z51 is an absolute must. I also want the 3lt package, which jacks the price up considerably. gotta have the heads up display (included in the 3lt).

I'll be sure to use you as a reference once I get started on the vette. good chance I'm going to have to order a vette, cant locate one with exactly what i want. should be 1-2 months depending on a few things.

I'm looking at a package from ECS (East Coast SUpercharging) for $6195 shipped. this package includes either a novi or paxton unti, cant remember which one, also includes everything needed for start to finish, turn key 600whp on 93 pump with headers, x pipe, cb.

That sounds nuts. I take it that you are just going to build it to be another dragstrip stud?

FYI:
HUD can be had for about $400 if you would like to install it yourself. The dash has the provisions for HUD, so no drilling/cutting necessary, but you have to lay a few cables (which comes with the kit).

How is the tuning done?

I have several choices, probably either have a local shop install and tune or let topspeed handle it. ECS also has transport service, which I will also look into. there seems to be a lot more choices for tuning when you break outside of the subaru world.

i will definitely be visiting the dragstrip, however I have no plans of ever opening the motor. i want this car to be as close to stock as possible.....with a bolt on supercharger.
