Hey all, I purchased my ZL1 in May of 2018 and had huge plans for it. Well as we all know...Life happens! So I held off on the "build" for awhile. I ended up purchasing a home instead of doing the irresponsible thing and sinking tons of money into the car. I did add a few cosmetic things to start with and then just chilled out for a bit. The current list of mods is here:
Roto-Fab Intake big gulp series GM black taillights GM black third brake light Oracle ghosted side markers painted "ZL1" badging on the hood cowl Brixton Forged PF-2 gloss brushed and single tint finish with polished lips and black barrels Full paint correction CQuartz Finest Reserve Ceramic coating (Elite Finish in San Diego,CA) BTR stage II PDS blower cam 32% fuel lobe BTR valve springs and titanium retainers BTR VVT lockout BTR trunion upgrade kit BTR gen V dod/afm delete kit ARP studs Katech 103mm TB 160 degree thermostat Lethal Garage E85 sensor DSX fuel pump kit ATI damper ATI 15% underdrive pulley Cordes heat exchanger expansion tank Magnuson 2300 blower ARH 1 7/8 long system Elite Engineering catch can Here are a few pictures from when I purchased the car. |

A few weeks later I had the car paint corrected and added the wheels. Shortly thereafter I installed some AFE control (Pfadt racing) lowering springs. Here are some pics....

Here is how the car currently sits...as well as a shot of the "ZL1" badging on the hood cowl. I relocated it back to the 5th Gen location.

Having new wheels built by Brixton Forged Wheels. Ordered the new PF-2 wheels in the following configuration:
Polished lips Brushed single tint gloss coated center Stainless hardware Black inner barrels Here is a picture of the wheel and a rendering of them on my car.....I can't wait! |
Currently ordering some go fast stuff for her now. I've been working with Red Barn Racing on the build list...Fired up! Time to get this baby moving a bit better.

Nice build, the hood badge does look better there.
|
Just got confirmation that the Roto-Fab big gulp is in bound....Magnuson is building the new blower now.
Cam, ARH long tubes, E85 sensor and pump are already here.....the time is getting close. Removing heads and sending them to Frankenstein Engine Dynamics to be ported and polished on Monday. She's going to be mean soon! |

Current state of the project...
Heads are off and at Frankenstein Engine Dynamics getting their LT4 325cc treatment. Wheels are out of machining and into the finishing stage. I'm beyond excited to get this thing finished up. |
