Just curious ....huge HP and torque is cool , but if you cant get it to the ground and have it stick what is the point other than being able to say I have the biggest gear shift in the room?

Jokes aside, when you have a ton of HP/torque, your top end becomes insanely strong even if you can't get a 2.x second 0-60 like an electric car (although I'm sure proper drag radials help a lot). The stock SS, and even the ZL1 to some extent, is tangibly much slower to accelerate past 110-120 mph. When you have 1000+ rwhp, your 60-130 becomes as fast as 0-60 in a regular SS.

Drag strips exist for this reason. Sticky track with proper wheels and tires let you put that power down. But even on the street you can put it down in roll racing, 60-130, situations like Arpad mentioned. And boost controllers let you tame it down some when appropriate. I usually run scaled down to ~800 WHP on the street which is fine and actually kinda slow once you’re used to more.

I was just saying that because I watched a Video of some roll races where the racers were a ZL1 with some pretty awesome mods and the other car was McClaren. Every time they aligned up to run the ZL1 spun and the McClaren pulled him. So I like HP...lots of it but I want to make I am not just spinning my wheels

Smoothboost centrifical boost controller is something I read about recently on here and is something I am going to be digging quite a bit deeper on.

Smoothboost should be low on your wish list... you have alot more ahead of that on your future mods
