The problem with a Z06 twin turbo is that the engine has to be completely rebuilt to take any boost and the engine's displacement would have me worried, as the wall thickness is already so tight that you can only bore it .5 mm anyway. I would say that a well done Viper motor will take much more power than a Z06 engine, as after all, the Z06 is a small block and the packages for it won't be much different as the packages before. Hell, Lingenfelter was already doing 427 small block twin turbos, so I don't think the engine output should change much. Although, I will agree with Norm that anything with "Lingenfelter" on the side should be given some respect.
