and no street to race it on without going jail. I had a close call
and still don't know how I avoided it. So, it's game over for me too much to lose.

Yeah, it's true -- for a while I was going through belts every night I went out, but thanks to others having the same problem... I found that they aluminum bracket that the s/c bolts on was flexing. I corrected this by replacing it with a steel bracket -- now the boost stays strong and I haven't went through a belt in 4 weeks.

I hear you about the street racing .. it's too much to risk to ever race on the street anymore, even a friendly race from a stop light.

They did look pretty even. I would say traveling to what it looked like atleast 130+ that the z06 will start to pull hands down due to better aerodynamics/less drag.
I do have one question. Isn't a z06 engine compartment very tight to begin with and cram a blower in their must be some tight quarters. Where does the blower get is cold air from? Or does it?

if you goto that ebay web page where they are selling that Z06 you can see where they get the air, looks like a 12 inchs in front of the blower unit. nice install on it too.

Most ofthe big boys who run 300hp+ cant just stand on the gas and nail a gear hard. a Z06 will spin in just about every gear. and loosing traction means your dropping forward speed. So once again when you produce that much power open your mouth. 99% of races end up rolling down the road and is just easier and not as easy for someone to spot ! Imagine if those 2 cars just stopped in the middle of the road and started racing.. hmmm that kida says look at me pull me over !
