. : The
Quick Story Behind The Build : .
Over a year ago I came into contact with a small shop in Palatine, IL
called CM Racing. We had a few discussions about possible plans
for the Z06. When all was said and done, we agreed on a one of a
kind front mount turbo system with twin FMIC's behind the Z06 grills
(the first in existence I believe). The goal was to not only
have a fully functional TT setup, but to have one that would be
ascetically pleasing and turn heads. I believe we have succeeded
in this mission.
I realize that I somewhat went out of order with the decision to go TT.
I am yet to build up my rear end, transmission, and motor.
However, to be perfectly honest this was an offer I could not pass up.
CM Racing wanted to get some publicity and essentially did the kit for
cost (cheaper than a current APS kit without install price).
Thus, for this year I will be running only .3 bar (about 4.5 psi) on a
stock bottom end. This should easily put me at upper 500, low
600's for rear wheel horsepower.
As with all custom kits, there are many issues that need to be
addressed before and after everything is "done." As of now
(8-17-2007) I am still fixing up a few minor issues, and one major
issue which is the clutch.
[UPDATE] I was
able to finally get the SpdKilz Z06 back on the road last week.
I went to Sound Performance to get it a very conservative dynotune.
Through the essentially stock, modified TI exhaust, on a lower reading
mustang dyno, at 4.5psi I put down
548rwhp,
511rwtq.
Once I put cutouts in I should get a 20-30rwhp bump up.
I will be
updating this as time goes on, and in the following week or two I will
get a complete list of parts/components I used. For now, here is
a quick list:
