I'd like to know how far we can take the stock bottom end on our LSA. You may be the test bed. Keep us posted how this works out.

Here's a great build thread. Made over 1200whp on stock short block and has ran many 1/2 events.

I know, was thinking the same thing. Should be at least 4500.

FTI speced out the converter for the setup. I would hope they know what it needs

Just kidding around. Opinions will vary. I know many guys like a 3500-3800 converter even for street use. 2800-3200 is the most common but it will be just fine. You will def be able to launch in the power.

I know everyone has their own ideas, i dont take it personal. I really dont mess with autos much. My daily is a 6 speed with a 84MM and ZL1 driveline. I build strictly street use only cars. I have ZERO desire to build a single purpose track car.
Driving anywhere i want at anytime is a must.

When in doubt i rely solely on vendors who spend countless hours in that department.

heads and a Heartbeat blower may be necessary to hit 800rwhp. I see 740 there with E85 and no head work with a stock blower.

Porting the heads and blower is definitely on the mind, but would like to have the car back together this week so may end up with a self polish versus sending them off for full port work.
Still trying to wrap up the turbo car this week also

I did a lot of mods in groups but I never crossed the 800whp threshold until I switched to the 2.3 blower. I had ported snout, heads, blowers, eveything...... good luck.

EvilZL1 · 08-04-2015, 06:10 PM

I was just about to say jess has done mostly everything you can think of with the ZL1
