Yes, the supercharger is operating in an environment of greater pressure but the air is being heated twice as well.

That kit doesn't make any more power than just the standard TT kit, but a) it's the wow factor and b) it's easier to install versus having to source a new upper and lower intake - you just slap the kit on and go!

Yeah,....that 2015 Z06 is nothing nice man. Thing is crazy fast and actually looks pretty darn good compared to the Stingray, which I think looks crappy. lol
There's a video of a 2015 8 speed automatic Z06 doing 0-160 and it does 0-60 in like 3.5 seconds.
NASTY!!

If roush, Shelby, svt or whoever makes a very powerful and great handling beast for $60-70k then I'll stick to the mustangs. If it's nothing special then I'll save a little more and pay way too much lol for the z06,....if it's not recalled lmao.
