for $9K? Honest opinion? Not hardly. :shifty

You can buy a jet engine to strap on the back for $9K! :eek: Unless you are really power hungry I think the better investment is in improving driver skill. If Driving Schools have taught me anything its that a good driver can overcome any reasonable horsepower difficiency.

However, if you want to go hunting Z06's I guess this is way to go. Remember though that the blower is just the tip of the iceberg to more brakes, more clutch, chassis and suspension reinforcement and added maintinance costs. All told it would cost WAYYY more than that to have the total package.

Plus who would you have install it here? Motorwerkes? I think Gerard is good, but would I let him do it? No way.

Yeah, just ask ZZZING :D

I'd go with Scott Schulte for a SC install, but like IslandS52 said, the best investment to speed, controlled speed, in with the driver.
That's my next big mod, the driving nut!

So, with that said, why don't a bunch of us plan a trip to attend a driving school session. Something like: Derek Daly, Bob Bondurant, Skip Barber, Russell or even some Go Carting. Yes, it will cost each of us some $$$, but what great mod doesn't cost $$$?
