This 2016 C7 Z06 was purpose-built as a 1238 WHP hood-closed grudge platform, engineered for repeatable power under real racing conditions. At its core is a Thompson Motorsports 416ci LT4 (10.5:1), paired with an F1A-94 ProCharger system and high-efficiency air-to-air intercooling, delivering consistent boost and airflow without compromising thermal stability. The combination is further reinforced by a 200HP Nitrous Express direct port system, controlled through a progressive strategy and Lingenfelter timing management, allowing precise delivery and safe integration under load.

Fueling and valvetrain systems were built to support sustained high-output operation, including ported LT4 heads, BTR Stage 3 centrifugal camshaft, upgraded lifters, trunnions, and chromoly pushrods, ensuring stability across the RPM range. Supporting systems — from the auxiliary low-side fuel system and dedicated nitrous fuel cell to the heavy-duty pulley combination and timing control components — were selected to maintain consistency and eliminate variables. The result is a stable, repeatable dyno curve at 1,238 wheel horsepower, backed by a drivetrain and chassis setup designed to apply that power effectively in a hood-closed grudge environment where precision and consistency define performance.
