    The owner of that ZO6 you're referring to is the 1st one on the right, top picture. Supercharged convertible ZO6 with killer Fiske wheels.


    He took us all out to The Keg last night because he's so pleased with the car. Very nice guy. He was also bragging about the Turbo Porsche he raced last weekend coming back from Banff. Apparently he annihilated it.

    Only 1 vert. ZO6 in western Canada when his was done. The company who does the conversion is named Carravagio in Ontario. And he drives the car all the time.

    An LS1 with a good tune with a blower will put down about 460 @ the wheels at around 6-7 psi, so an LS6 (z06) should be quite a bit more...Last I heard, "vipretr" is putting 605 to the ground, but I think thats with a 383. 90_Shelby would know I guess

    But I dont get why he doesnt track that car!

    We haven't done one S/C C5 that has made under 500rwhp and we've done about 20 in the past year. A totally stock ZO6 with just a blower will make about 530rwhp. Tuning is absolutely critical.

    There is a C5 with a built 382 stroker running around with about 620rwhp that we built (pump gas). The bosses is still a 350 (built) but last year we hit 600rwhp on the stock engine. It was then detuned to about 550rwhp where it ran 11.90's@121 on street tires. Right now it's the most powerful C5 with a built 350 still running premium pump gas.,...........
