Default 800rwhp & 215mph here we come :)

Woohoo.. I just order a bunch of mods that will have me at 800rwhp and with the new gearing running 215mph this summer.

I got all the shit I needed from these guys, www.kalecoauto.com/ - great prices, awesome support and really fast shipping.

I decided to go an unconventional route, using a couple bars of boost and high compression - also new bearings and a fully adjustable powerband..... and a bunch of other useful items..

High Compression Piston Return Spring


Boost Bar


Powerband

Congrats RC, Would you be able to give a little more detail on the mods, im not so familiar with the 8's.

I'll be hitting a measly +300HP at all four wheels this year, with my 4banger

Do a 3wd conversion while you're at it. I hear that's the next big thing...

WOW, WOW, WOW.....you are my hero RC!!!!!!!! :shock:

You need brass balls to be able to handle such a beast....you got them or buying 'em?

Relatively cheap too it seems, do you know whether they ship to Australia? I could do with an adjustable powerband too....

^^ In my opinion, if you have a C5 z06, there's no reason to buy the new one.. just a few upgrades. Of course unless you're one of those oil rich sons in Dubai...

And exactly how do those new upgrades work? I hope you really get a chance to take your z06 to 200+mph
