As a Magnuson employee I'm not sure it's in your best interest to share exactly what you know, but it would be a lot more helpful than telling people to "Just do it right!"


IMO... unless you love working on cars just buy a ZL1. There are many advantages besides a warranty, the car's traction and stability control systems are actually tuned for the amount of power it makes, something you'll never get modifying a SS. And resale value...
I thought about trading for a ZL1, but after driving it and seeing how much slower it was, I changed my mind. Still, nice car and if I were starting from scratch again, I would use the ZL1 as the base. . .but at the end, they are all the same because with the Z, you already have the forged rods/pistons, but you have a crappy little cam...so you are getting in the motor anyway and getting a better piston rod forged combo that what comes with the Z only costs $2k. My $.02.
