#2 I would suggest would be a dashlogic unit. You can use it to display the current knock on the HUD, and even have it alert you with audible noises when you experience knock. #3 ALWAYS USE THE BEST GAS AVAILABLE TO YOU. Do not ever try to run 87/89 in these motors. Always 91 or better. You may also want to consider adding a can of Torco at every fill up. This will help boost your octane rating and prevent detonation/knock. Hope this helps, I have similar mods on my ZL1 and enjoy it a fair bit.

As previously mentioned a good fuel 92-93 octane, meth 50/50 is great for dropping intake air temps which helps with detonation, and the obvious, a good tune.

JRE takes all the guess work out of mods by offering DIY plug and play power solutions. We offer engineered power packages in 50-75-100-125-150-200 RWHP and beyond. I would be happy to discuss your goals, answer all your questions, and explain all the hows and whys. Our power packages are tiered so you can build on them. The Stock LSA short block is pretty robust and can handle about 700 RWHP reliably when done correctly. Feel free to give me a call. Ted.

I have been researching this topic for a while.
It is challenging, because there is little data on higher mileage cars with 700 hp. I spoke with Hennessey a while back, and they claimed that their 700 hp CTS-V that they just sold had 90,000 miles and no problems. But other than that, I have seen no hard data.

The LSA / ZL1 engine and platform are very well engineered and can safely support modifications and upgrades, like anything else to a point, using the stock short block. These engines are not infallible, but do have lots of room for safe, every day power enhancement.
Most shops who have a track record with the LS platform should be familiar with the boundaries of safety and longevity. I can't say that we have anyone driving their 700-750 rwhp pump gas NicKey Camaros every single day, as most are used only in fair weather, but some have miles and years of use and abuse at this point, without issue. Spinning the S/C at a higher RPM will generally create more heat and keeping things cool is also generally a good thing. So increasing the capacity of the inter-cooler by adding a reservoir is an inexpensive way to accomplish this. We strongly recommend oil catch cans in all LS performance applications and even more so in higher boosted applications. A larger capacity heat exchanger and two additional fans are a good upgrade, but not always mandatory, depending on how you plan to use your ZL1 as well as the boost / power level.

My traction was so bad my runs felt like long burn outs. Hope to do much better next time with new 17x10 Bogart Wheels and Hoosier Slicks.
