Super easy 1000+whp for you ZL1 guys



We've had a number of customers do this over the years, just wanted to tell you guys how simple this is when you are starting with a M6 ZL1.

This is a bone stock engine ZL1. Just swapped the blower for the TT's. Changed out the fuel pump to dual 430lph. And tuned up some 1200cc injectors.

A twin turbo ZL1? That sounds pretty sweet.

Super easy as long as you've got $10k laying around.

How long will the stock bottom end, trans, rear end etc. last at that kind of a level? To my knowledge, the LSA's internals top out around 800 RWHP safely with some pushing it to 900, but often expecting to break stuff. Trans and rear definitely would need to be built.

I would guess you are talking more about 8-900whp blower cars, cause we've seen a lot of them with no problem in the 900-1050whp range on turbo. Keep in mind a blower takes about 15% of the engines power to spin up the blower so 800whp blown is the same stress on the engine as a turbo car at 940whp. Free HP.

All that said, LSX427 is coming soon. We over sized the turbos for a higher goal

Yeah talking blower cars. To be honest I've only seen a handful of turbo LSAs and certainly no in depth data, just knew "Oh that's a turbo LSA".

She'll be nuts with an LSX though. Be sure to post that build!

Stock LSA here for over 2.5 years, half mile events and plenty of quarter mile passes. Started out on low boost in the 1/4 trapping 126mph, then 134, then 138, then 146, and have ran 150.2. All boost no nitrous, it's a great kit.

No, my car is a bit different in almost every way except the turbo kit and stock LSA. Currently have 58/62's but am changing to 62/62's for my new motor I am building.

Are you sticking with your 6L90? After we talked the other day I was thinking you could keep you stock stall and just run a 100 shot off the line only to get you moving. And have it shut off by a hobbs switch when the boost hits 10. A bottle would last you like 50-60 passes that way.
