Need to beat my dads hell cat
 

Soooo I need to get my zl1 to beat my dads hell cat. I have a stock zl1 and my dad always wants to 1 up me. However we made a bet in 2 months when we go to the track that he won't beat me. However im a noob to zl1's love the car though. Just need it around 720 horses and not 580 input and advice wanted camaro5 good day!

Get ready for a lot of different responses.
MORE BOOST!

Learn how to drive it. Your dad will probably sandbag the hell out of his Hellcat. The #1 mod you can do is the driver mod. An expertly driven stock ZL1 will smoke a Hellcat with a 2.4 60'.

My dads a very experienced driver though that's the crappy part. Yeah more boost and lifted stock heads... Ehhh I'll pass looking for a shop around the Texas area that maybe can help me.

this. you also have better/wider tires. slight advantage. headers, pulley down and custom tune.... itll be drivers race

Well this is just his street car he has a race car with 1800 horsepower however I would really love to just beat him with his street car

Drag radials

Start bolting on parts. I've seen these Hellcats dyno around 640rwhp. To get to that horsepower range will take some serious mods. Most go with heads/cam/headers/pulley/od crank pulley/injectors to get into those numbers. We have some nice set ups available to get you there.

What's to keep him from modding the hellcat. I just read an article of one running in the very low 10's was not a lot of upgrades. Hell if he put slicks on he'll probably drop .5 to 3/4 of a second.

If he can drive, then you're going to have to spend a bunch of money to even get close.

I know that. Just need help getting there

If you're willing to spend the money, then it will take a full overhaul. Heads, cam, tune, pulleys for more boost, etc

dont forget solid subframes. these cars loose time on getting the power to the ground.

You're kidding right? They have compared these two cars and yes the Hellcat has 707 hp but it is not a cornering car(although the they have made headway) it is heavier and therefore does not need much to beat the hellcat. Good tires, good driving skills, and a few bolt one is all he will need.
