LOL. I apologize. My false assumption. You write and sound like someone who hasn't even made it to high-school yet even at age "16." I stand corrected. A very tragic, sad story, I bet.
Quite a coterie of embarassing clowns that you've attracted to your fan club, eh Tuscanraider? Good Luck with Life Stiggs, you seem to really need it.

Frankly, the asinine comments and thread hijacking I've seen from a few of the posters on this thread would typically get the posters banned, rather than the thread locked. Why punish those who are trying to contribute to the board, when you can fix the problem at its source?

I posted in a separate thread ("Treynor - any dyno numbers?") The SL did not get along well with the dyno drum, and posted numbers lower than stock. Kleemann is looking into why this might be the case.

Its pretty easy actually, If they banned every member that posted a silly comeback or hijacked a thread, then there would be no members left in this place to post.
How's that?
And don't worry, I'm not Tuscan Raider's lackey....I've been here longer than he has.
Its usually the dumbest people that tell other they should grow up. RUMatrix....you're on an internet chat board telling people they are 15 years old and they should grow up. Maybe in that wierd world inside your head you know everyone on the internet is younger than you, but you are living in the real world. I find it very funny that my comments upset you so much. Here's an idea, if you don't like them then please put me on "ignore". Its a button that is used way too little. I have some good medications for you. They will lessen your delusions, and make the line between internet imagination and reality a little more clear.

I can pay cash, or wampum if you prefer.

No...just ban the worthless thread ***** (Stiggs) and this place would be much better off. LOL. Yes, your immaturity abounds, and I'm sorry you're so offended by my accurate remarks-the main reason you shamelessly continue to show-off your lack of intelligence in post after post after worthless post.
Once again, I believe you've thoroughly embrassed yourself for our audience here (go re-read your worthless, defensive contributions). I really believe you'd feel much better if you would lay off the anti-depressants and stop hating your Life so much. No more reason for me to guide/waste my time with you. You've been entertaining.
I'm done.

Mrs. Treynor Benz steps out from the platform pushing the little newborn SL65 along in the Pratzi pram, proud as a peaclock; while Stiggs could be seen vomiting along a Bay street gutter. All was normal today as it seems to be all days anymore.
The children playing stick ball were timing it out for a little bread and sugar while momma is screaming from the 3rd floor kitchen window to get on up here before I send your father down.
Clown Boy leans into the pram without permission and boldly states “Wow- that is one ugly baby.” A fire hydrant blows; a car crash at the corner; a three alarm fire just launches while bells ring incessantly; children laughing, a bus blows off a huge cloud of diesel smoke, babies are crying – all in all a completely normal day, that is until Mrs. Benz grabs Clown Boy by the throat and says – WTF did you say?
Regards, Jack

Just bypassing the throttle body heater and tricking the air sensor gives you about 8-10 hp.

A Z06 with heads, cam, headers and exhaust work will put down roughly 440RWHP depending on the parts and the tuner used.
With a bolt-on supercharger (Magnason blower $4,000) you get 500RWHP. They are really quick cars, but the biggest problem is traction.. When you start modifying corvettes at that level you have problems putting the power down. On a highway roll, they will be potent.
Scott,
Just an FYI.... If your Z06 is just Heads/Cam it is not 600+ RWHP. You are probably at 420 - 430RWHP.
