Go fast or be slow and its your choice. I like fast and so should you, spend a little extra and you'll be good to go.

The LT4 engine is much more capable then the 1.7 blower. However this blower matches up better with the LT1 for those that are not planning on making huge power. The 1.7 will take the LT1 fuel system and pistons to it's limits. Also with the LT1 being higher compression, the LT4 blower does not need spun as hard to make the same power. 4500 includes everything to make a reliable 550whp/600wtq. Seems like a solid deal to me.
Not sure how you can call it slow...there is a guy that has the base LT4 kit on a SS and went 10.9 @ 129. The SS will go faster then a ZL1 at the same power level. Less weight and less drag. ZL1 was built for corners.
