However, this is just my 2 cents', I'm also very interested in expert opinions.

I have just found that with the extra HP, a lot more heat comes with it. I could do a H/C bolt on SS 1LE and have similar HP to a stock ZL1, and with less heat/weight. Yeah, I could put a 2650 on the ZL1 and get better cooling, but then I'm spending another $8k. Plus most of the parts on the ZL1 would bolt on to the SS 1LE. The brakes are slightly smaller, but the car weighs less.
