You should be able to take out a Z06 with 500+ WHP. My 420whp is a dead tie at the track from a dig, but from a roll the Z06 edges me out. The Z06 has really tall gears so I'm able to get a good jump from a dig .

455 NA on a mustang is really good. I'm I former LS1 Camaro owner so I know what they are capable of. I've been looking for C5 ZO6's and checking out the aftermarket offerings. I may open a part-out thread really soon. Sorry for the off topic post in this thread.

My kit just arrived today, just waiting for the Cipher cable and then we begin playing frankenstein in the garage.

Time to brew up a bad case of "I can't go to work" flu.

Stage 1.5 is so tempting.

Wish I can dump $9K so easily.

Got my kit fully installed! Give props to GTM for putting together a very nice kit, everything fit as it should and the instructions made the install rather straight forward. Completed the entire install in my garage with help from a friend in about 16-18 hours once everything is completed. Just waiting on my heavy duty slave so i can put the tranny back in and start the break in!

....Wish I would have known about this stage 1.5 when i ordered my kit!

Got everything pretty much finished up on the weekend. However, having issues loading the Osiris tune. Says "Cable License Error." Waiting to call Sam Monday morning. Hopefully it's a quick fix, getting quite anxious.

On a side note, the heavy duty slave and master cylinder(Wilwood) from ZSpeed are some nice pieces. Install is pretty straight forward and it now has a steel braided line running right from the MC to the slave.

The supercharger inlet pipe worries me a little, by far the lowest part on the car now. Sits almost 1" under the cross member!

^Is a bigger filter really makes that much of a difference? Which one did you buy?

GTM (Sam),

Have you made any progress on the C.A.R.B. approval process?

Default Dont pay in full first

Whatever you do, DON'T pay in full first before receiving your parts from GTM as I did...They won't give me the 649.80 worth of parts I paid for and the BB was contacted and a complaint filed. When Sam was asked about why he won't return the parts, he replied "Why should I help him (me)?".

Shows you his reputation... I paid for parts and he won't deliver them. Sam will tell you EVERYTHING BUT THE TRUTH..SOMEBODYS MOMMA DIED, SOMEONE IS SICK, HAD SURGERY ETC ETC...do not do business with them!
