Congrads on your build & working thru the issues you had with the project.

The question I have is would you do it again knowing what you know now ?

Im going to dl pics and videos when I have a chance

BTW Z1 guys were amazing! They were slammed getting ready for the Z1 nats and worked on my car like as if it were gold. Everyone there was a pleasure to chat with also.
THANK YOU Z1
Awesome numbers. 11.2 psi on what octane rating? 100 is my guess.

Excellent! How well I know.

Props to you and Z1 Motorsports.

(Spray enough 93oct fuel in there and 525whp @ 11.2 AFR is livable. Mine has been.)

Good stuff!

All the tunning was done on 93 octane. I thought about doing a 100 octance tune and trust me they had a ton of it there at z1 BUT, the walbro fuel pump couldnt keep up the pressure at 11 psi after 7k rpm. Air fuel started to get too lean for Z1 liking so we stopped.

Next upgrade will be the aeromotive pump.

and also im sorry, the dyno showed 525 and then after smoothing it went to 522.

Sat night went out to play with my friends supercharged z28. We raced 3 times from 60-140 and it was a complete standstill. He had 560+hp, built tranny, and running 10psi also. He was in shock that neither of us would pull from each other.

The reason we did not race from a start is because I have ZERO traction 1st and 2nd at 11psi. The 20inch vossens spin like its nothing.

update, car gets driven on weds and maybe on the weekends. Motul oil change and so far the car is fantastic. Zero traction in 1st and 2nd but I have gotten use to feathering it in 2nd and making the car drive sideways in boost hahah.

I personally wouldn't try it, unlees it's 9:1 or lower.

Engine timing is crucial.
Also no one has been able to crack the VVEL, that could be another issue.
EcuTek is the only system that can actually run the timing correctly on the VVL motors. The ECU for the VVL motors have a lot of different timing maps built into them that the other programmable systems out there cannot see or control.
