Yes, this can be done and does work well for those that do it.

I honestly wouldnt waste this kind of money on a bone stock 1SS when you could spend that money on better upgrades. Honestly, you could just buy better tires, and still save a good 1500-2000....

My old SS, I went from a 285 rear to a 315 rear...and while it was a great look, there wasn't much in the way of a performance gain. You'll also find the tires are more expensive for the ZL1/ZLE setup, as the size is not cheap.

Best advice: Spend the money on a set of good drag radials with a rim, throw them on when you wanna go to the strip. Spend what you save on that by adding a few bolt-ons ....
