Ok I’ll see what I can do. That’s sort of what I was wondering too is how much different the power they make feel from one to the other. Because I get what your saying. The ZL1 just feels flat and the same all the way through the RPM’s. Totally different than the SS.

Just a tune and pulley swap would totally change that ZL1, let alone all the other mods your SS has.

I was always under the impression that a bolt on and cammed SS would easily hang with a stock ZL1? They are right around the same crank/rwhp, amirite?

Ya I guess everything that I was told is that the ZL1 should still be faster and more of a monster. But could have been bad info. When I bought the ZL1 I was hoping for more without having to Mod it. But I may want to now if thats the case. Just wanting to make sure there’s nothing wrong with it you know.

I appreciate the help!
