Not sure if that was sarcastic or not but it could not be factory ordered from GM. You had to add it after the fact. I can post several links if need be but I’m too lazy right now.

I am LOLing that the grand sport does not have enough engine to handle all that aero. That is a lot of aero or not a lot of engine depending on how you look at it.

The stage 3 aero even on a Z06 stock creates a ton of drag. Tadge Juechter has explained it a bunch and posted pics on other forums showing how much it affects airflow. It’s pretty drastic to be honest. It was meant to help the C7Z on tighter courses as it is very tail happy.

No ****s given for me as I just add more power. Intake manifold, Meth and smaller pulley coming soon to hit 900rwhp.

Awesome setup.
I wish they weren’t booked until mid October, I wanted to bring my car there
They are always super busy. One of the best LS/LT shops in the country for sure. I booked in October of last year to get in late February, early March. Well worth it though.

What did you do for your fuel system? I was going to do an LT4 build but **** the cost and hassle reverting back to port FI which I would need to do to get to the power level that I want. I am going to build my c6z instead.

I did the LT4 high side stuff with RPM’s custom low side. The cam has a +32% fuel lobe as well. The high side is about tapped right now without meth or port injection. Port = $ and additional controllers etc.

Lingenfelter makes a big bore DI pump and FIC makes +30% injectors but it’s expensive. Meth can be used as a bandaid but I skipped it as I didn’t want to rely on it for fueling. Now I’m used to the power and standing on the corner blowing random dudes for quarters to support my addiction. You know it’s 1st world problems when you’re crying about 800rwhp feeling normal.

LOL exactly. I was like its not even worth my time unless there is a comma in my WHP.

Killer build, if I was to go LT4 I would have done exactly same as yours.

You can always try LMR? Unless you're not up for the whole shipping thing since you're on the East.

Oh I know. I just don’t want to wait lol. I’m impatient. Plus I wanted the car to enjoy for the summer I didn’t want to have it finished and only be able to enjoy it for a month or two.

I’m going to another local shop that’s pretty top notch
