When i have 1500 miles on my ZL1. I will be doing some up grading . My goal is to have 600 HP at the rear wheel. I have seen some kits design just to do that.
for example the one made by LINGENFELTER. Do these kits work as advertised ?
and Who makes the best one ? I don't mind paying more for better quality . Please keep in mind the kit i would be looking for would be one that dose not hurt the long term life of the car

I did a Roto-fab 2.55 upper pulley 100mm idler pulley, 160 degree stat,NKG plugs,solid isolator, ported snout and tuned by Frost dynoed 534 to the wheels 537 of torque but was pushing 13 pounds of boost so with a set of Kooks headers and high flow cats it should bring my boost down to around 10 psi and I should be knocking on the 600 rwhp door.I had Dream Makers in Fort Wayne Indiana do the work Lingenfelter is down the road they do excellent work that goes without saying but Dream Makers saved me some $$ without compromising quality they do excellent work you can google search them if you do talk to Nate he is the man!!!!!!!!!!

I see you are in Albany NY, you should check out Twisted Synergy Motorsports http://www.twistedsynergymotorsports.com. They have completed plenty of ZL1 and CTS-v's from pulley cars to fully built. Kevin and Adam are great guys and treat your car like their own.

I think it is best to find a quality builder fairly close to home that will stick with you as you upgrade and give you good advice. It sure helps if they are close if your have questions. The "basic" upgrade packages of pullies, intakes and tunes are pretty straight-forward. The ZL1 is crazy easy to upgrade.
