Looking for opinions on good modifications for the new z.. Looking to maybe getting one if I can't get the car I'm really wanting. Any sponsors?? Be glad to be test dummy and have a article maybe? Love to see 1000 whp...

 

Anybody???

 

Zl1 stuff has been out...no test monkeys needed really any longer. Futral down in Louisiana just put one 10 flat in the 1320 with an excellent driver and smart bolt on mods. The majority of zl1's you will see however aren't that impressively quick. It is all in smart money spent and proper tune and seat time.

 

ZL1s are pretty easy to mod. I havent spent huge amounts of $ and my 24,000 mile daily driver runs 10s at the track and then drives home.

 

So would it be a waste to get one? I really looking to get around 800 rw soon.. I just thot since it was a 2014.. no miles.. A company might want take it do there mods and show it off...

 

Which place is best to get work done and tune for these cars??

 

Anyone running and specials or packAge deals?? C'mon peeps..

 

Not sure where you are located but I get all my work done by Matt and Rodney at FSP in Bradenton Fla. Matt is second to none when it comes to tuning. So far my car is putting out 646whp through an auto and runs 10.6-10.7.

 

Located in Oklahoma... arkansas line.. 4 hrs from Fort Worth texas.. Idc where I have or need to go.. figured somebody would want to mod brand new zl1..

 

Check with FSP, Matt and Rodney often travel to Panama city in the panhandle as well, they often fly out to Texas to do tunes.

 

Check with shops. As for new, we all have new cars being worked on. Most of the major shops have 2014 corvettes. We have one torn apart now.

 

Rhino79...GPI...Gwatney Chevrolet in Jacksonville AR...he could put you something together. You can find him on here or you can google up the number and call. Ask for James, Ryan, or Aaron. Ryan will be hard to get on the phone...Aaron or James should answer or call back pretty easy.
I just thought your post was assuming you wanting a 800whp ZL1 was going to get you some special pricing or sponsorship because it hasn't been done. It has been...for sure. GPI can cut you a package deal as could other shops. Just saying don't expect a bunch of freebies. LOL
Being that GPI is a dealer...they could order and sell you the car modded out the gate.

 

Could you pm me the number and or message him for me. I'd like get some more power and stuff done to this thing.. but still be street car.. thanks

 

I wonder who owns it

 

Anybody know how strong the lsa engine is on the zl1s? 2014 model... like block.. I know it has a stock forged crank.. and rods and pistons are weak link.. what's the difference in this and the ls3?

 

Spend a little time doing research and you'll be able to answer the majority of your questions.

 

Iv read alot.. just wonder how much boost it can hold safely.. being a supercharged built motor anyways.. I don't want to push it to its limits due to I just bought the car. But on later date.. I will want to upgrade things slowly.. just know alot of u guys already know way more about 5th gens then I do.. it it was a 4th gen fbody.. that'd be different story.. gotta start somewhere tho.. I listen to people to already been there and know

 

If you upgraded the rods/pistons, I am fairly certain, based on what I have read here, you'd be able to max out the LSA blower without having to worry about the block.

 

Is the Lsa block stronger than the Ls3.. or is it the same Shortblock and just different heads between the ss and the Zl1..oh Btw.. Going to be doing a twin turbo setup and keep the stock blower.. Going yo be interesting.. may start a build thread soon and pics.. and of course videos

 

I have a local guy that was trying to run 19 #'s of boost........ It didn't work out to well. I think the sweet spot was around 15#'s. You will run out of fuel before the motor finds a weak spot.
