Stock Z 3100 lbs. - 248rwhp @4800rpm
Upgraded Z 4.6M lbs. - 450,000hp (rough est.) @4800rpm

You do the math, thas a sick upgrade. 2 Thumbs Up, anyone want to start up a group buy?
I dont think it gets to 4800rpm redline prolly = 102rpm.

still I think its worthy. gay little V8s with their puny torque. that **** will get you around town with some pep. well... atleast around 6 and 8 lane highways; donno if itll fit down main street.
