Congrats my friend! Great build.

Nice. I thought mine had mods, but not so much.

Blower at 22.5k at the shifts seems right.

Wow very impressive numbers and under hood looks great also. Good luck going forward and have you ever heard of cars and coffee at Austin Landing just south of Dayton on 75. Would like to see you there, hundreds show up and yours would definitely create interest.

Thanks everyone! What a journey this has been for me over the past 3 years and 3 months! Would I have done a lot of things different, for sure! Do I regret anything I did, for sure! Would I change anything I did do, Yep! Am I happy where I'm at now, 100%

But, a big thank you is well over due to all those who helped me through my journey: Z OH 6, Joshinator99, KingLT1, arpad_m, WhiteMale, LT4Greg, ZLRob, JSH, RobZL1, hawk02, radz28, and SOCAL.M6.ZLE. Also, must mention Jannetty Racing and ultimately Katech for building such a beast! Katech_Mike, Alex, Nick and the entire team build that car like they were building it for themselves. The attention to detail was over the top and they made sure not one bracket was out of place, not a scratch on any AN fitting, and not one wire tie was missing that should have held something, the build is top notch! The only thing they "missed", if you can call it a "miss". They didn't use black constant tension clamps for the CIA, throttle body and at the snout of the Maggie. But, hey, no ones exactly perfect! Also, many people here on the forum that helped along they way I'm sure I didn't motioned, but, all are appreciated!

All of you had a part in this build! Never in my life would I have expected to meet such great people that were extremely helpful to me! Let alone, that I would create a post about me buying a new car and should I swap out the taillights or not! And that post would become a car build journey I never expected ! Now 3 years and 3 months later, my original post is over with 759+ posts and 174,178+ views, and here we are! I still have quite a bit to complete once I get my car back. Install the Roll Cage, Fire Suppression System, Drag Wing, Parachute Kit, and install some new BAD AZZ Wheels I bought from Tim at Weld !

Again, thanks to everyone for your support, realty checks and constructive criticism !

Amazing build and numbers with a beautiful engine bay you almost make me want to trade... but seriously, congrats and enjoy the "new" beast

[swisstyphoon]

Car sounds badass and that engine bay is a dream! Congrats on your beautiful build, and hitting 4-digit rwhp, that’s a monster! I know exactly how it goes, I also started small, and now I’m chasing that 4 digits too..

Bro, thanks for all the help, support and talking sense into me! Can't wait until we meet up at Camaro Fest 2026 ! It will be epic! She's all done, detailed out and I'm just waiting for the call from Katech_Mike to come getter' !!!

[2023_ZL1-AUTO]

OK... I hope I'm not the only one that thinks this is totally COOL! Alex Ponke of Katech Engineering posted on Instagram, this photo (shiftworksmagazine) he took of my car. Look toward the bottom at the comments and look who the first comment is from!!! Now, that's COOL and BAD AZZ!

[Katech_Mike]

Glad we were able to hit your goals Scott. Its been a fun project. 1,000RWHP SAE through an automatic on radials is an awesome number on our dyno (they make ~520RWHP stock).

Can't wait to get it on the track!

I agree, great numbers mike... How much do you think the big drag radials are absorbing? Save to say this is approx. 1250hp flywheel?

It's hard to say at this level because so much of how the car is set up overall effects the chassis dyno numbers.

I haven't had one on the engine dyno exactly like this but I would say somewhere around ~1,200fwhp.

When Scoot does the 416/427 next winter we'll toss it on the engine dyno and find out

Great work. Very enjoyable thread.
