In season 2 episode 18 of PowerNation: Engine Power, the hosts turn their attention to a 2006 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 that's in need of some serious stopping power. With the car's stock brake and rotor setup already maxed out, the team sets out to install a serious upgrade with powerful stopping capabilities.

First up, the team removes the old brake system and installs a new PowerStop brake kit complete with drilled and slotted rotors. To further improve the car's stopping power, they also install a new brake booster and master cylinder, as well as stainless steel brake lines.

But the big update for this Z06 is the installation of a ProCharger supercharger system. With over 700 horsepower under the hood, it's important for the car to have reliable and powerful braking capabilities. With the new PowerStop setup, the car is able to come to a stop from high speeds in a much shorter distance than before.

Throughout the episode, the hosts provide in-depth explanations of each step of the installation process and offer helpful tips for anyone looking to upgrade their own brake system. Along with the installation of the new brakes and supercharger system, the team also takes the car out for a test drive to see just how much of a difference these upgrades make on the car's overall performance.

In addition to the main project, this episode also features segments on other performance-related topics including a look at the latest tools and products on the market, as well as advice on how to properly maintain and care for your car's brake system.

Overall, season 2 episode 18 of PowerNation: Engine Power is a must-watch for any car enthusiast who is looking to upgrade their car's stopping power and take their performance to the next level. With expert advice and hands-on guidance, the hosts provide valuable insights into the world of performance upgrades and showcase just what can be achieved with the right tools and techniques.
