2018 ZL1 A10 Build
Here is my 2018 ZL1 A10 build Journal. I have enjoyed it in stock trim. Made some hits at the drag strip all stock, then with just a RotoFab air box. Also made some 1/2 mile runs with it stock. So at just under 4,000 miles the mods begin. Below is a baseline dyno, all stock.

Results;
Stock A10 base line on my ZL1 was 555hp and 559tq. With LT4 Heartbeat and supplied 85mm pulley, complete ARH exhaust/no cats & Rotofab, achieved 641hp and 625tq on 93 octane. But only got a few pulls in and Matt the Calibrator says that he's still dealing with Torque Mgmt issues. So more to follow soon. Last edited by Stefano; 08-16-2018 at 04:22 PM. |
