ok, so I have a 2020 SS 1LE with a 6pd manual.

I have a good buddy who is in the process as we speak of upgrading his new 2020 ZL1 (with an auto) to the exorcist zl1 package at hennessey. yeah, I know....

anyway, here's what they do to his stock zl1..

http://hennesseyperformance.com/vehi...ercharged-zl1/

so I may have the opportunity to pick up all the parts that they take off his zl1 (a brand new zl1 with zero miles), including stock supercharger, stock heads, stock cam, stock lifters, valves, etc etc etc, what you see there.

i know enough to know that work is out of my ability, I freely admit that. so my question to the forum is, does anyone have an idea if what they take off that car can just be bolted on to mine, and I'd have everything I'd need to effectively have a zl1 motor in my car, understandably with a professional install and professional tune, or would I need to still spend a lot more on motor upgrades and transmission upgrades? Can that stock 6spd manual in the SS 1LE handle 650hp? I guess I'm trying to figure out how far from a ZL1 does that get me in parts, cause I may have an opportunity to pick up the parts they take off for very little, but if I need to spend another 15k in labor and parts to finish the job, then I'll go in a different direction.

does anyone have an idea of how much all those stock zl1 parts are worth and how much more it would take to get that SS to effectively have the same stock performance parts as the Zl1 and make that 650hp safely and reliabily, or is it just not possible? Previously I was never even thinking of doing this, but the opportunity to pick up these parts for beer money just presented itself, so I'm thinkin......

Looking for some genuine facts here guys.... thanks..
