i have a stock zl1
and i'm just thinking of having some mods nothing much just a simple FBO will be great,,,,,,,,,,,so if any one could advice me it will be great...

Warranty friendly mods include ported TB, cai, catback, and a throttle controller. You will get minimal gains but improved driveability and throttle response.

If you want some mild gains then LTs, pulley, ported blower/snout, and tune will do it. But your warranty will be toast. It'll give you some much improved performance.

One more step up would be aftermarket blower, cam, extra fueling, meth, nitrous, etc. That will really put you on a new level. But it will be costly and you will obviously have no warranty.

So the level you want is up to you. You can go little by little to see if you're satisfied or jump straight to the big boy stuff. Either way it'll be a good journey and you'll end up with a killer!!

If you don’t mind losing the warranty, the first thing is to find a good tuner. I made that mistake and learned my lesson. After that it’s about budget.

$2k for warranty saving bolt ons.
$5k for 620-650whp no warranty bolt ons.
$10k for the “oh crap that’s fast” obviously no warranty.
$20k for ludicrous speed!

But it all depends on goal and driving style. Also will this be your daily?

how much you want for it?



OP, welcome.

Isn't there a thread on this forum that a rotofab with no tune doesn't gain you anything except more sound from the super charger?

[Gary H]

The 5" Big Gulp would need a tune. However the standard Rotofab has shown gains throughout the range without a tune.
FWIW, my first mods are a Roto-Fab & Tony Mamo ported throttlebody, ZL1 Addons jacking pads and ACS rockguards

Agreed with everyone above. #1 Roto-Fab CAI, #2 Tony Mamo Ported TB, and #3 Cat Back Exhaust. I have the Borla S-Type with carbon fiber tips (one word...Spectacular!) These three mods make the car more drivable, more noticeable, and way more fun to drive. I would also add a #4 in the form of the Hurst Billet Shifter as well. Significantly shorter throw, feels way better than stock, and you maintain the stock shift knob. Throw an Eibach Pro kit (lower springs) on, as well as some appearance mods and have fun driving it; all while maintaining your factory warranty!!

Would love to hear a sound clip of the S-type! Nice mods.
