King Lt1.....I thought with hp tuners and doing the extra fuel credit needed to adjust they found a way to rasie the voltage going to the pump is that not correct?

I won't speak for King, but the FSCM can be tweaked to up the voltage to ZL1 levels and a tiny bit higher. That said, the JMS goes even higher and seems to add more consistency to the fuel pump voltage.

It's a daily driver for me and yes it gets hot in Houston for sure, it takes me to work and I do a couple digs, rolls a week. Not much else just having some fun when time presents itself, I'm near an area where people always have their weekend cars out too
Will this fit under the stock ss hood? I dont think they do, if not, not so much a sleeper anymore.

After reading all the reply's in here, I was thinking of getting a pro charger, now not so much. I'm just gonna stay stock, with some bolt ons.

It will most certainly be much easier doing some bolt ons.

I ended up putting my 1SS back to stock, traded it in and got a 2022 ZL1. I may have went a different route if I had the 1LE but mine was basic. Very pleased with my purchase.

That is what I keep debating, keep my SS 1LE and do heads, cam, headers etc, or Magnuson it, OR just sell my SS 1LE and get a ZL1. I have been on the fence for a year now. But I love the SS 1LE I just want it to be faster than my 2001 Mecham Trans Am that is NA & 500rwhp. The more reading on here I do the more I feel like screw it just get a ZL1 or keep it stock with some bolt ons.?!

The zl1 is such a solid base line for a car imo. Yes, if you want to make improvements on this platform it usually costs some money but there are several ways to make more power. It’s pretty bad to the bone in stock form too. I love the driveability / torque it has.

My ss had a tune where it was soggy down low and midrange and requires much more throttle input to make it go

This car runs really good stock too: you can drive it off the showroom floor and hand a lot of people their ass lol

You can look at my IG if you have it. I ran my buddy in his Porsche 911 turbo and he had it in normal mode, (no over boost) and a little softer setting and I got him 3-4 times from a 60 roll.

Weeks later we re did it and he had it in over boost and full power and he got me but I held my own. That’s the only race I’ve lost in this car. It’s very capable off the showroom floor and drives fantastic

I don't regret going the Procharger route at all. Put the hurting on a 6th gen ZL1 on the way home from work last week.

I really like my procharger. My nefew has a helcat and it pulls hard but seems to pull harder right off throttle and sort of lays over on the top end. I beat him way back when I only had about 6.5 pds was supposed to be 7 base stage 2 procharger setup with the procharger tune. I have added since then and have meth injection stock fuel system headers into stock npp lt2 stock motor with wisco pistons stock rods. Here is my tq curve at 13.5 pds and e60. Even with 305 35 20 nitto 2s it spins. First is unusable on the street. How would it do with pd I have no idea and if your on the track with prep pd might be better but on the street its about traction now. So I think the procharger is better as when I ran the helkitty it was traction problems for him. we did 40 rolls 60 rolls and in all cases i pulled him no problem. He wanted to do a dig from dead stop and with launch control off on my car I beat him a good car by I would say 60 with launch control on it was 3 cars in the same distance.

What ever you decide good luck with the build and I am truley enjoying mine, but I love to tinker and have more ideas for makeing it better. lol HELP its a drug lol!!!
