What’s best route for power?
So my 2018 a10 zl1 at the moment has long tube headers, intake, and 93 tune.
For next set of mods and tune. I was going for lower pulley and e50(flex fueld and auxiliary pump) with the might mouse catch can and cordes expansion tank i i just ordered but i heard changing the pulley will give me heatsoak so i did some research and Now i dont know if it’s better only e50 and pulley or get stage x ported, e50 with or without the pulley. This will be my last batch of mods done to this car and I pretend to go to tracks and dragway so i want the at least amount of problems and heat. If you know the best way to minimize heatsoak and more power. Please let me know thank you! |

What kind of power are you looking for? I'm parting out my zl1 currently and was making 823 to the wheels on a fairly moderate tune

You need a Magnuson TVS 2650 supercharger upgrade. Please read this thread:
https://www.camaro6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=543933 The 2650 can sustain full throttle for a lot longer due to (from JANNETTYRACING): A) higher efficiency at higher volume B) massive super efficient intercooler bricks.

5% on stock fueling will be the absolute most you want to go and still be able to run E50-60 at most.
You will need a JMS booster or something to be able to allow the low side to keep up with the additional fueling demand of E. ATI makes a 5% 8.43 pulley.

You don’t have to pulley to make power. But to do it without the pulley you need flex fuel, porting, injectors, HPFP and low side help. That isn’t the cheapest way to go but it gets you there without adding heatsoak.

I don't think I'll ever power mod my ZLE, but if I did I've always thought if you want a significant gain with minimal heat issues (and more power always = more heat) I would start with this... +125 WHP = about 800 HP and would make a ZL1 feel a lot more powerful, from scary to very scary, and give you a real edge on road course down straights over exotics. No injectors, no extra fuel pump just a voltage booster.

You might get some additional info on the FI forum, but I've been on here since I bought by ZLE in 2018 and a question like this about basic power mods seems like the most common and popular kind of basic topic ZL1 owners ask and enjoy discussing. All ZL1s are FI, what should we limit our discussions to on this main ZL1 thread? I see many mechanical/engine/power topics here. I think this is where a new owner is more likely to get more info faster due to the number of viewers and volume of posts. |

Yep. And a quick google search of "camaro6 zl1 power mods" returns a TON of threads to review.
