2ss vs zl1 performance question

[gisbert.j.hanft]

Im looking to upgrade the engine in my camaro but there are so many different paths. My question is

Other then the super charger what is the difference between 2ss and zl1. I thought about just getting it to that level for now. I own a 2012 2ss transformer automatic.

Maybe some part numbers or insight knowledge form drivers who have done nice builds

Magnetic Ride Suspension

[2SS 2011]

and about 16K more for ZL1. for a supercharger and magnetic ride

Don't forget to add to that, drive train, brakes, coolers ...

[SPCBA]

Suspension, brakes, entire driveline transmission to hubs, ecus, wheels, coolers for everything, downforce blah blah its got a lot more different.

[DavidW]

power (and ability to put it to the ground)
handling, while offering a compromise with decent street manners (MRC)
braking
ability to sustain reduced wear and tear due to the upgraded cooling systems (diff, etc.)
aerodynamics
different ecm modes for different conditions (coupe only)

Aero,

But what do you want, just that much hp or do you want all the other stuff. What do you want to do with the car? Important question when doing a build. You can definitely get 600 hp out of your car if what you want to do is go really fast 10 seconds at a time down a drag strip, maybe a little drive train upgrade too.

But if you were mimicking the track performance it's a little different. You'd just upgrade to coilovers and not mess with ZL1 suspension, but the coolers that the ZL1 wouldn't hurt.
