First 1000hp 6th Gen ZL1!!!
First 1000hp 6th Gen ZL1!!! Its always fun when a new platform gets released from GM and the 6th gen ZL1 was no exception to this. We received a phone call from a long time customer that we have built several vehicles for in the past including a 600rwhp Z/28 Camaro, 1,400rwhp twin turbo C6 Z06, and a 750rwhp C7 Z06 stating that he had just taken delivery of his 2017 Camaro ZL1 with the new 10spd Auto. Being no stranger to horsepower, this customer requested a build package that would not only drive and perform well on the street, but also crest the 1,000rwhp mark with ease and become an Exorcist slayer. At the time, our R&D ZL1 was at Procharger to develop the first ever F1A-94 system with air to water intercooler for this platform, so we went ahead and placed an order on a 2nd kit to be installed on this vehicle. For this 1,000+rwhp combination, we opted for the following:
Procharger F1A-94 Supercharger system with Air to Water intercooler setup
Vengeance Racing Stage II camshaft kit
Vengeance Racing CNC Ported LT4 Cylinder Heads
Vengeance Racing Engraved Valve Covers
Vengeance Racing Auxiliary Fuel System
Late Model Engines Billet Intake Manifold
Kooks 2 Longtube Header System w/ Full exhaust
Alkycontrol Dual Nozzle Methanol Injection System
Moroso Catch Can
BMR Lowering Springs
Ecu Calibration on 93 octane, E85, and C16 race fuel
Custom VR1100 badging
Once everything was installed it was time for dyno and street tuning. With this combination our customers ZL1 made 852rwhp/685rwtq on 93 octane, 937rwhp/751rwtq on E85, and a final number of 1,046rwhp/785rwtq on C16 race fuel! This made our customers car the FIRST ever 1000+rwhp 6th Gen ZL1, and allowed us to deem this package the VR1100.
Dyno numbers are great but we wanted to know how this would translate on the street and track. We headed to Carolina Dragway for some testing. This combination with the ZL1 ran consistent 9.5s @ over 152mph all while on factory 20 wheels with Mickey Thompson Drag radials. We unfortunately ran out of time at the end of the night on our session to push the car further, but this combination has now been proven to run solid 9.30s at 153mph on the same setup with our R&D car with a bit more tweaking of the transmission tune.
There is a lot of room to push this setup further. Demons and Exorcists alike be careful! Vengeance Racings Turn Key VR1100 ZL1 is on the hunt.

Never get tired of hearing those new trannys shift , and who doesn't love a screeching procharger!
Could you elaborate more on the fuel system?(and put in layman's terms, no lol!)......
I see you have listed an "auxiliary fuel system" i always thought a (not apples to oranges i know) one the reasons newer diesels were so easily tunable was the direct injection and abillity to supply copious amounts of fuel to them with mere programming.
As far as the LT motors are concerned, it actually seems to be quite an obstacle, I've read that the new z-r1 has some sort of "duel fuel" setup as well, although can't find details on it yet.
Also, noticed no mention of meth use in the dyno runs?
Already kicked the habit? Or just a little something for the street?
Cool car.

Thank you
Def a bad azz ride, I want it.
Are you running a 6 or 8 rib belt, looks like maybe an 8 rib, how much boost would it hold. I do miss the Procharger whine, but I can hear the turbo some from inside, just not the same, lol.
Congrats on a great build

Thank you! This is an 8-rib setup making 20psi on race fuel with the F1A-94.

More info Is the F1A maxed out? What kind of power do it make on E85 ? Can it do 20psi on E85 ? I might wanna put this setup on my C7 Z06 is this possible?
