I want to get to 700hp and still have drive ability is that possible?

[PNYSLAR]

So I have a 2012 that has @12K on it and I don't see any reason that I need to maintain the warrenty so I'm ready to go big and hit the 700 club. The only issue is I want to still be able to maintain 10-12 MPG which is what I get now because I cant keep my foot out of the pedal. I luv this car and want to hear the old school sound of a cam and exhaust and not sure what do I need to do to obtain this dream? I know there are some serious experts out here that know what to do without blinking an eye so if you can direct me in the right direction I'd greatly appreciate it.

Twin turbos. Keep it under the boost and it is normal. Put your foot in it and hold on.

Rhino nailed it, or you can go cheap and NOx it.

Livernois is a proven shop that can get you between 715 and 728 RWHP on an Auto and have gotten as High as 770 RWHP on a Mannual on pump gas. I have a Auto and I am getting 22 mpg with the cruise control on 79 mph constantly. Can be a daily driver with no problem, they are very detail with their work and will not have one scratch on your car. Also I do not know if their dyno is a low reader or we gained more hp after putting more miles on the car, but we went to another dyno and actually had gained 23 more rwhp on SAE. The car only had 58 miles when it went to Livernois.

Yes we can to all of the above.

I'm at 706 rwhp with excellent driveability.
Night Fury Cam, headers, 2.40/9.10 pulleys, Roto-Fab, 93 octane tune

Take/send your ZL1 to: Lethal Racing in Scott, LA

I'm over 700rwhp and drive it almost every day. Drives normal until you mash it.

We generally see improvements in mileage with our ZL-850 Package when you're not after it on the highway. When you're on it you will use more fuel than it does now but you're also making another 200+ RWHP.

Please feel free to call, email or PM me anytime with questions.

Kind regards,

I've got 701 RWHP - it's a beast when I get on it but it drives like stock when I'm not - and MPG is only marginally worse off due to the Cam

Matt @ FSP with my build - awesome shop!

the only issue you will have with drivablity is the cam choice. Depending on how large you go that can affect drivablity. people will say it does not but I have driven a few newer manuals with large cams and they still surge in parking lots and lose lower end torque.

if you were to port your heads and run a more mild cam the car will drive like stock except you won't have any traction ever on stock rubber.

if drivablity is a concern I would run something like the brian tooley racing stage 1 or custom grind then port the heads, longtubes, 14-15spi, port the snout, 102 MM tb and be done with it.


another approach would be different power adder but this will cost you more.
