New build in the works 1100rwhp
 

Welp, decided to bite the bullet and just go full out on my car instead of buying another ZL1 and ripnning that apart. I'm eyeballing a c6 Z06 to gut that for track only, but i'm looking for 1100+ wheel on my ZL1. So far here is the list with a few questions.


LME 416ci 1800HP Longblock (iron)
Callies Magnum Crankshaft
Callies Enforced Rods w/ARP Ultra Hardware
Diamond 2K Pistons w/Upgraded Wrist Pins
ARP Main Studs
LME Bracketry Adapter
CID Aftermarket LT4 Heads
LME Titanium Intake Valves
Inconel Exhaust Valves
LME Dual Spring Kit Custom
LME Camshaft
LME Billet Timing Cover
ARP Head Studs
Cometic Head Gaskets C5R Timing Chain
Johnson Lifters


10L90 complete Rebuild
New Driveshaft


TooHigh PSI Spacers

Deatschwerks Injectors
Custom Holley Port Injection


Keeping my blower/interchiller


Question on the toohigh psi spacers/port injection. Anyone else using this setup here with the holley system, and how is it? I should be able to run full E with my low side upgrades. Any issues or concerns?


10 Rib and 112mm throttle body are options too.


I believe the trans can take about 1200whp after the rebuild so thats the max im going to shoot for.

Don't forget the all season tires so you can drive it in the snow.

In all seriousness, that is going to be one hell of a build. Keep me posted on it.

What are you planning to do with the current engine?

112mm TB and 10 rib are no brainer upgrades IMO. Bore is more important than stroke with a PD blower, I’d look at a 4.125” bore instead of stroking a stock bore motor too. Looks like a killer build!

10 rib for sure.

That is awesome.
Jason Leiva, has a similar setup with the Toohigh plates, and Holley, but with a billet block, and also a built 10speed Pure transmission.

To be honest, since there aren't very many people pushing a ZL1 to this level, I don't know that I would trust too many opinions here. I would contact Jason Leiva on FB and ask his opinion. He owns the worlds quickest 6th Gen ZL1 and he just got finished with his latest build which is 1445whp. He's super friendly and always willing to help answer questions.

Save your money
Call Hennessy

Yup. Then he'll have at least 1000 RWHP and his car will gain value. In a few years he'll be able to sell it for at least $200,000 easily.

A few years ago there was a guy who got to over 1200 RWHP. He started finding the breaking points of stuff, lol. I haven't seen or heard from him in a long time tho.

A lot of people might have useful information but without pushing this far they might not have the best information. At this level, 1200 1300 1400 RWHP, there are a lot of things involved. I certainly have no advice to give. Lol.

Sorian isn't a fan of the plates because they don's squirt straight down on the valves they squirt on the intake walls. Not that he hasn't tuned cars with them just prefers something else.

Other than that looks solid... I take it its going to be just a race car?

Lol!! Is this JSH other account?

Calling Hennessey is last thing I would ever do. (Make that never)

More then likely both street/strip. I’m just torn between how much power I want to push it, but I would rather have the engine that supports it just in case.


As far as the plates though, what other options are there really with the magnuson?

Looks solid other then I would do a 427 instead of 416.

Jenetty has a build documented making almost 1100whp on E82 with a 427/2650 combo using DI fueling(XDI system).
