I have 3.73s with a turbo and it smokes the tires in second on the street. Any more gearing would be useless. I run a 325/30/20 Sport Cup2 on the street. PD blower would be even worse for traction....

The 1LE, ZL1 and Z28 bars are all supposed to be solid. I have seen many people say the SS bars are solid, but I cut apart a front and rear bar from my vert and they were both hollow.

1LE bars are 27/28. ZL1 25/28. Both the 1LE and the ZL1 use the same rear bar. Z28 are only 25/26.

I have a Braum harness bar which looks identical, and I don't have an inch of play. If there is too much play, I would guess the heim joints are not tightened properly.

Correct, Gen5 ZL1 hats are larger than Gen5 Z28/Gen6. The small diameter of the Gen6 hat is what allows for the significant increase in swept area over the Gen5-ZL1

Not sure on the fuel pump part numbers, but I'm pretty sure fuel pressure should be 58psi all the time, more if you are boosted.

Why not just get a ZL1 pump and call it a day. They work great.
