Help me plan my mods!
Hi everybody,
Now that I’ve been driving my ZL1 for 8k miles, I have a few ideas for mods. I would mod and keep the car if getting a C8 Z06 keeps being as annoying as it has been so far. Please provide any opinions you’d like to share on any of these: 1. Corsa Carbon CAI: to enhance the SC whine, also looks great: https://youtu.be/uxCqmbVfD_4 2. Wheels: thinking of going down to 19” for less weight and even more comfort - any cons here you think? If trying to maintain stock power, what measurements would you recommend? 3. AWE Tuning Axle-back exhaust: being a ‘vert, there are limited catback options and I also don’t want any CEL or leaks at all. 4. Raceseng shifter: any other brands you recommend? Stock one has a weird shape, even though it feels great. 5. Wrap: just saw this and it instantly became my new favorite car color, even the paint name was hard as hell to find: https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a4...ster-revealed/ 6. C8 tail lights: but the installation for newer Camaros requires you to take the bumper off…bummer! Any other quality of life mods you guys suggest? I’ve heard of throttle bodies - what’s the main benefit and how hard is it to install? Only other thing is that my knee pads are hard as a rock lol, any mods there? Thanks y’all! |

Starting with 19” wheels, I saw that MPS4s come in at 295/30/19 and 315/30/19…
Would that work well for grip with 19s? Would it be more than stock grip you think? If so, what wheel width to go I wonder…10.5 and 11 probably? |

Just put ZLE-spec 19's on there, with 305 and 325 tires. Tons of options.

RotoFab intake for sure and maybe a Hurst shifter.

Wouldn’t like to modify the suspension components. Other than that, the Hurst shifter is impressive, reducing shift travel by 40%, but it’s a difficult 4-hour install that you have to pull entire exhaust and driveshaft lol. Wish I could compare the audio between Corsa and Rotofab intakes! Are there any throttle body upgrade that don’t require a tune? If so, is this type of upgrade even worth it you think? |
