Guess the HP on my build - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

AbsolutHank · 10-19-2013, 07:31 PM

Alright guys...had the ZL1 about 5 weeks so it was past time to start modding

I installed a Roto Fab a few weeks ago, and installed a LS9 cam with PAC valve springs today. Installed a 160 stat and new plugs today too. Having the snout and TB ported this week, along with new injectors and a 2.5 pulley. Going through the manual trans, do you think 600rwhp is attainable after it's tuned on Wednesday?

Will you need different injectors with them mods?

Yup...going with the FIC injectors

I suggest you go with the ID injectors, there have already been a few complaints on the FIC injectors in the forums. The ID's cost more but nobody has complained about them yet. To answer your question, 600 RWHP is attainable with that setup. Hope your getting a reputable tuner as well.

Jeremy Formatto will be tuning it.

What sort of issues with the FICs?

My caddy has these mods with 2.38 pulley. (2.5 is waste, send it back and get a 2.38)

It makes 575 + on mustang dyno its a automatic.

I thought the 2.4 would be too much heat for the stock HX? My plan was to do HX, headers and 2.4 in the spring and get retuned. You think it can handle the 2.4 now?

I'd say 615-620. Good luck.

630

Specifically what are u doing to the tranny? Be REALLY INTERESTED in this

The Baron · 10-20-2013, 04:04 PM

Lol the 2.38 is fine with stock heat exchanger.. 2.5 is waste of time.

I apologize for my poor wording...I just meant the car is a manual and not an auto so it should free up a little more power.

Stephen12ZL1 · 10-20-2013, 05:09 PM

625rwhp...my guess

CanadianZL1#992 · 10-20-2013, 05:38 PM

610. I had pretty close to the same setup, only 1 7/8 LT, cat deletes and 10% lower. I had 632
