Thumbs up 2013 ZL1 at Phastek - Hurst Short Shifter and Exhaust Commander install + dyno pics

Kelly stopped by yesterday with his nice 2013 ZL1 to check out some upgrade options.

While he was here we installed a Hurst Short Throw Shifter and Exhaust Commander Kit for him, check out some of the pictures below!





Quick and easy install for the Exhaust Commander, it mounts in the trunk area:





And in case you are interested, here is a dyno graph with a stock ZL1 manual transmission compared to a stock ZL1 with an automatic transmission:



And in case you don't know what we are all about here at Phastek, check out the video below:

Those numbers look somewhat low compared to other charts i've seen. Most M6 cars are at or very near 500rwhp..............hmmmm!

100+ degree temps in the afternoons in our shop right now in Texas. Kind of kills a little power

Here's the info from the Dynojet run files:
101* last week when we made pulls in the Automatic car.
105* yesterday when we made the pulls on the Manual car.

Just curious why anyone would need to replace a short throw shifter with another short throw shifter?

I would like to get some feedback from the owner on the Hurst--looks killer but is it as good as the stock shifter, which is superb???

Thanks. The customer with the automatic ZL1 is thinking about doing the A/C mod to the heat exchanger, can't wait to see what the power numbers are on the stock engine setup when we put it back on the dyno. Because after just a couple of pulls on the dyno, power drops by about 20-30hp when it gets heat soaked!

Didn't have time to grab any video clips, but we should have some soon I hope. We set the exhaust baffles to Open with the remote. It's a nice sound to start the car up with them open and get that little extra rumble

Those were my thoughts too. The ZL1 has an upgraded shifter over the SS, but nothing compared to the aftermarket Hurst shifter. The customer actually called us back while he was driving home just to say he absolutely loves the difference, which is awesome

Shifter

Please explain the advantage of the Hurst shifter over the one that came in my 2013 ZL1 that seems to work just fine. I will be interested in other mods soon.

Thanks

Just spoke with the Customer again today, he said he feels about a 60% reduction in throw with the Hurst shifter, but most importantly, he said it really makes the car feel more Alive from the Feel of the engine/road/etc through the new shifter, "much more aggressive than stock". He also said the 2nd-to-3rd shift is Much quicker now with the Hurst shifter

What is the part number of this shifter for a ZL1?

that 2-3 shift in the ZL1 is kind of a pain, but I like the stock shifter.
