2013 ZL1 WWYD?

Went to the street car takeover this year and my 68 camaro and 62 biscayne are FAR from drivable so been thinking about my 2013 zl1 auto car. Would you sell the stock blower and put the cash towards kenne bell 2.8 LIQUID COOLED, or turbo kit, or would you head, cam blower port , head port and pulley the stock blower, headers, injectors etc . Seeing all the cars run around got my head spinning. I was concentrating on getting biscayne running but thinking of building zl1 Car is 2013 zl1 automatic 3900 miles bone stock

Question is how fast do you want to go? How deep are your pockets? Lots of different setups available for our cars so it just depends and how much you want to spend. Me myself after the fact and having gotten used to my power level twin turbo would be next but not with this block. Look up JessRayo's build from beginning to end and watch his power levels steadily increase to insane numbers and he is still not done!

I think if you get the right mechanic and tuner you can safely run 1000 hp through that stock automatic and it will drive just like stock if you don't push the pedal too hard. You can beef up the stock auto to handle a few hundred more horses if you need it. The real question regarding which mods to make depends on your goals for the car. Do you plan to run it at any racing venues or is it just a street rod?

Yeah, I now have run 4 different engine displacements, 4 different clutches, 3 different superchargers, 4 different transmission ratios, 2 different rear ends. I think I'm very close to the end of the mod list on the drivetrain now.....lol, I hope.

I usually by cheap cars and mod them like crazy but I have fallen in love with this car. I have owned a lot of fast cars and I usually won't like them until there cammed. most likely going to go cammed route with bolt ons and pulleys etc. From what I have read stock blower only goes for $3000 ish. I would like to see tens and I know what it takes and its not hard ,just wondering what people are liking the most

I think some people have gone 10's with nothing more than intake, pulley swaps, headers, and drag radials.
