I'll let you know how it feels in a few hours. Jeremy said it's insane.

470whp is pretty crazy for a turbonetics setup, especially on the "Heartbreaker". I'm at just under 400whp now, so i can't imagine what another 176whp would be like. Drive safe man.

Very cool. For those you can afford a ZR1 though, all that performance and a warranty to boot would be hard to pass up.

You've got comparable performance and looks already - and you've already made the investment in the Z. Only way to recover that investment is to drive it!

Also 470 whp on Sharif's DD apparently reads about 10-14% lower than a typical DynoJet (as verifed by Eagle, Alberto, XKR) - so that 470 is really at least a 520 DJ. Just keep in mind...

larry needs to have a photoshoot with his car. the car sits soooo dumped on the ground with his coilovers, on some dark graphite Advans, New nismo V2 front end and the car just looks clean as hell.


now it has some power to back it up. i emailed him the graph so he should have it up soon. it has one bar wastegate springs in it so i dont have a lot of graphs. we did a few things to move the power band up in it. those few things will take some torque out while making sure it provides top end power every time.


thanks larry and see you later on...

Gorgeous!!! Can't wait for the dyno's and maybe a video or two.

Can't blame you on the ZR1, however!

Did you replace the d2 coilovers? In the pics your car sits so nice and hugs the rear tires. On my car I feel like I am sky high with the D2's. Did you cut the springs? Or maybe switch to the racing springs.

here's the brakes you need!!! one piece monoblock construction!!!


The 6S is Robust, Rigid, and now RED with its new hi-temperature red powder coat finish STANDARD! And because of its Forged MonoBlock Construction, the Baer 6S caliper is the stiffest caliper to ever be offered for road-going use, unless of course you include Baer´s own "6R" caliper in your comparison.

Great News Larry I can only imagine how long and frustrating the wait and headaches have been but I am glad your Z is back. The power must be like a day and night difference on the Z.

***... this dyno is one of the nicest I have seen. Thanks everyone for the compliments. I traded some low end torque for some power up top which is exactly my goal by using the rev up lower plenum. No plenum spacer installed. It looks like it's peaking at 6700RPM with only the revup lower. Thank you Jeremy for making this happen!

I had D2 make me custom lower rear shock bodies to lower the car. Before I had them make me the lower bodies at the lowest setting the car was at stock height.
