No, the MSD manifold is not overkill in my experience. I ran the following setup on an A8 SS with stock motor and stock exhaust:

Pretty obvious that the 2017+ ZL1 A10 WITHOUT the 1LE package is the fastest street Camaro that was sold to the public by Chevrolet. Very simple really, the 1LE package for the ZL1 contains features...

0-400 DA is not correct, because the video that I linked actually shows a DA of 2305 on his best run (bottom of the dragstrip screen that he shows in the video). Checking the weather online for that...

I've been a member since 2016, and the evidence on the tcm has been pretty obvious to me over the years. My 2017 SS also came with a locked tcm, so tuning was not available in the beginning, but...

You are correct that the car is being held back by the computer. Torque limits in the TCM are a big reason that the car is not launching like it should on the DRs. Check out this test...

Don't focus on the 'boost' number because it's really not important. What actually matters is how much air you're pushing, and going from a 2.7 blower pulley down to a 2.5 means spinning the blower...

Yes, his ecm tune with flex fuel helped with the 60' time IMO. My own experience with bolt-on mods was that with the stock SS tune and a pair of DRs, I was running mid-1.7 short times at best. Then...

Something to be aware of when drag racing an M6 version of the 6.2 v8 on DRs, they can have a well-known bog issue, which is caused by a torque limit setting in the computer. Might want to ask your...

I was just going by what you had posted for wheel/tire weights before: stock wheel/tire 62 lbs, vms/hoosier 32 lbs, vms/mt 52 lbs. Saving 30 ea on front and 10 ea on rear added up to 80.

Was that full-tank 3600lbs with the stock wheels/tires on, and the passenger seat still in the car? Not with your old drag pack (-80) or pass seat removed (-48)?

Uh, the OP is building a bolt-on car, not a supercharged one. The gain from E85 on a bolt-on LT1 would be more like ~25 rwhp if his 93 tune is decent. Bolt-on car won't gain as much from the ethanol...

Honestly you'd likely gain very little hp, if any, from the ported 87. I had a v-max ported 87, and I did not see any gain from it, which agrees with a dyno test that I know of (zero hp gain). Other...

Sorry, I saw 2023 10spd, post did not mention it was a 1LE. That means 2.85 rear instead of 2.77, however, it also means even more weight than a base SS (elsd plus larger front brakes). The LT1 is...

I agree on the license being technically a requirement for running under 10.00, however I do not expect him to get in the 9s on this trip, so I did not mention it.

Not really viable as a low-side upgrade in your proposed use case. That kit is meant for hooking up to a nitrous system (dedicated fuel supply to the fuel solenoid), not to the car's own fuel system.

The PS4S is a 300TW tire, much like the original F1 Goodyears that came on my SS. With my bone-stock SS A8, I had run 1.83 on the short time, resulting in 12.06 and 12.07 ETs with 114 trap speeds. So...
