I have a 14 ZL1 and I'm in the process of doing bolt on mods... In all the cars I've owned suspension, strengthening, and cooling have come first before major power upgrades.

No going to do much for a while power wise till after warranty is up

I'm looking for advise on strengthening rear end if needed, suspension mods that will tighten up the car but keep it streetable

Ordered Jannety Billet main caps for the rear and a LPW Diff Cover with poly bushing...

A6 Trans going to run drag radials ...

You may not have to do much to your ZL1 as they leave the factory a little more robust than the SS's. Your differential is good for 1,000 hp they say, and with an A6 you won't shock it as much as if you had an M6. You may not need the poly cradle bushings, toe links and trailing arms the SS needs to avoid wheel hop. Maybe only replace the parts as they break?

Since you have a ZL1 and an auto nothing is needed for the rear end of that car. I did not know that anyone made a differential cover for the ZL1 differential either along with the billet caps??

I didn't do the research and bought the billet caps and the diff cover ... Told the venders I had a zl1 ... Maybe they work maybe they don't didn't take the time to install them...
