Sick build, i didnt even know you guys made a lightweight fly for the stock clutch, does that require a slave spacer or is it just as thick as the dual mass?

This thread looks amazing! Not sure what happened to all the pictures though, they only load on the first page.
EDIT: Pics came back! Definitely interested to see how this turns out!!

The vehicle wont be back on dyno until Spring of this year. I do have some winter projects for the vehicle that I plan on doing that I will post about, nothing too crazy, but still fun.
List of potential winter projects: -Strip interior, replace any missing/faulty panel clips, line with an insulating foam to reduce rattles/NVH -Remove brake calipers, send out for ZR1 blue or similar powder coat with silver brembo 1LE decals -Convert DSSV suspension to factory Mag-Ride with DSC Controller -Build custom 6" intake for 120mm Throttlebody -Modify custom dual port low vacuum bypass valve to have more spring preload on valve -Add subtle Katech Livery -Create Brushed/Billet Aluminum ZL1 badge set to match the wheels I am also considering adding port injection to my vehicle to enable full flex fuel capabilities. I have not decided on this yet. I am also in the process of making a really cool low side solution for the Camaro guys that would be relatively plug-and-play for close to 1000rwhp on E85, so you guys will see something involving that in the coming months. Hope everyone had a happy holiday! |

If I had to guess it's due to the tuning capabilities of the mag ride

I have put 10,000 miles on the ZL1 1LE, I purchased it from Texas and drove it back home to Michigan. The suspension is great on 90% of the roads in the country. Unfortunately for me, Michigan has probably the worst roads.
The majority of my miles are on the street with this car, most roads that I drive on are very rough on the car. I have 3 realistic options 1) Keep DSSV 2) Switch to GM Mag Ride Shocks, DSC Controller 3) Switch to JRI Coilovers or equivilent (MSC, etc). I like the idea of going to GM Mag shocks with the DSC controller, I think I will be able to tune them to give me a majority of the handling performance back. It will also allow me to go extra soft in touring settings for comfort street driving. The JRI's can be custom valved for my application, but this solution is double the cost. I have everything needed to do the full mag ride conversion (shocks/struts, BMR drop springs @ OEM rates, DSC controller, DSC harness), I just have to find the time to do this and dial it in. If I choose to do this conversion anyways. If I lived somewhere with nicer roads, or did not do as much street driving as I do, I would not be considering swapping shocks. Knowing what I know now, I probably would have started with a standard ZL1, and added the aero after the fact. Live and learn, I love the project so far though. |

Mag Ride seems smart for street vs. DSSV

How is this going Zach? We can't wait to hear this car sing to 8000rpm. More importantly- the benefits of a LTW flywheel.
