future build

Im planning on totally building my car after the warrantys up. What's the max power I could get out of my 2010 ss?
I'm looking for at least 600 hp. What all would I need to achieve that? I would probably take a road trip to zzp and get them put all of it on. I just wanna plan this out a little. I would probably get the znf. What all would I need for the engine or anything else? And how much would it cost total for all the parts and labor? About 10 thousand?

Im not sure if a zfr will get you up that high i think zzp made it to around 550 on e85 best bet is a 259et or maybe a 256et

If you intend to do a big engine build ny zzp, I suggest that that you do things the right way immediately. Get their turbo kit with the s259, get their stage 2 tranny, the short block with the 2.1 setup, the head/cam combo with the fuel lobe upgrade, 5th injector, their exhaust, and let them tune it. Then of course you will need all the drivetrain mods. It will be a lot of money, but you will get things done the right way immediately, once and for ever. You can reach your goal of the 600whp by doing that, and you will be done for good as far as performance.

dnt think the 256et will get u there but def the s259 or a percision 6262, the odds of u daily that car is very small, im going for 540whp and pushing it but will have multiple tunes, i already invested over 7k into my build including brakes suspension and motor u have a long road to go, mind u i still dont have my block.

Both shops sell nice products, and both have been proven. I believe the quality in Werks products are better, but that's just my opinion. Just depends on what route you want to go. Both with make you happy!

This would still be my daily driver probably. What would be the max I should shoot for? About 450-500? I figure it wouldn't really be worth it to put all that money to build it to 600 hp just for it to be daily driven. What would give me the most amount of power for the money?Just zfr, new clutch and rebuilt engine to support the turbo? How much money would a 450-500 hp build be? And I can't run e85 because there is no places to get it around me.

It will be tough to get to 500 without e85. You could run meth as an alternative, but it will still be hard as a DD. Performance Autowerks will be releasing their new turbo, the WR-3. I am testing it for them on my car and we will have results pretty soon. The WR-3 is very comparable to the ZFR. My car with the WR-3, I will have it conservativly tuned to ~400 on 93

600HP FWD DD? not quite sure I'd go that route... you'd have to roll around town with DR slicks on just to get any traction.

the s256et is a great turbo if youre thinking about 450-500. im at 411whp on my s256et and its my daily. turbo is fun and runs great. I could have gotten a much more aggressive tune and e85 but since its my daily i wanted to keep things reliable and not have to worry about finding stations with e85 when i go on long distance trips. its been a year since i bought the kit and havent had a single issue *knock on wood* then again i dont beat the **** out of it all the time either. the zfr is another great option in you want 450-500. only reason i didnt wait for it is because in a few years im shooting for around 550 and the s256et (with supporting mods) will definitely get me there.

To be honest an LNF with just bolt ons with the stock turbo is ridiculously powerful for a FWD DD. just saying
