what you mean by jog ? lol i know its probaly the least power FI kit but thats all im looking for . i dont want anything crazy .with 280 -300 to the wheels il be happy
I don't know where these guys with 500whp are driving their cars, but 300whp is plenty to get you in to trouble. I'm running the stock Greddy kit at 8lbs, with an upgraded exhaust manifold, external wastegate, test pipe, and BOV. I find that I shift at around 5-6K rpms becuase having the torque that a turbo provides means I don't have to rev the piss out of the car to feel like I'm accelerating. Besides, you're usually only shifting gears when you're street driving, and around my area, the fastest speed limits not including the highways is 55mph. Even if you push that to 70, you're getting there plenty fast. I drove a buddy's twin turbo Z06, putting down over 600whp and it was almost useless on the streets. For me, the Greddy is all I really need. Different strokes for different folks I guess.
How is a Twin Turbo Z06 putting down only 600 WHP?? My tuner just built one making 1200 WHP, Is that thing on one pound of boost??? Even then I would think it would make more than 600 WHP. C6 Z06 makes 505 Crank stock.......

i ran a 12.9 but i also had 4.77 gears. ya it was fun but not enough for what i had to pay for it. IMO go bigger at minimum go with like a rev hard kit if you are afraid of the power just start with a low boost tune and work up from there.

It was a twin turbo C5 (2003) Z06 not the newer C6, and I don't have his exact numbers memorized, but I know it was 600-something/600-something. Maybe he was closer to 700 than 600, but it was definitely in the 6s for both whp and torque. I also know it was stupid fast.

Low 13s in the 108mph range is not "fast," especially with plenty of stock cars doing that these days, but it isn't slow either. If I wanted a car that ran mid-low 12s, I wouldn't start with a car that only has 240hp at the crank.

I considered the Greedy kit when I was planning my build, but i'm so happy that I went with something a little bigger. Trust me, when you mash down on the gas for the first time boosted. Your gonna forget all those i'll be happy with 280 hp notions. Get yourself a fullblown, pfab, inlinepro, etc. stage 1 kit. You can still have the great low end response of the Greedy kit, but you'll have the potential for some decent top end power as well. I run my 35r turbo on 7lbs when i'm just riding around, or tearing up the mountains. It still builds boost in the higher gears below 3000 rpms. When I hit the dragstrip or just wanna little more power all I gotta do is hit the switch on the controller and Presto I've got 100 more hp at my control. The Greedy kit works just fine, but you gotta run it full tilt just to get a little more power, spend the same money and get 3 times the power potential. Its not like you have to run 500 all the time. You can set it up to be whatever you want. Just me opinion either way you'll love it, boost really makes these cars come alive.

There's no comparison between NA bolt-ons and FI. The first time you hit the gas FI you will know this. The Greddy kit is really great for a DD. It's plenty for some folks, but not enough for many of us. You've just gotta know what you want.

You'll beat the Hyundais and the Nissans, but you'll tie or probably lose to the Camaro and Ford. The Greddy kit isn't what you buy if you want to win races. It's what you buy when you already love the car and just wish it wasn't so damn slow around town. It wakes the car up nicely and really makes it a lot more fun to own, but it doesn't make it a rocket.
