Information please

I am looking at a 2013 ZL1 in Louisiana and it has had some work done on it and some performance parts installed. It is at a ford dealership as someone traded it in. They have papers showing it has 738 rwhp and was done at Ragin Cajun performance. I have tried to find them on the net but no luck. Has anyone heard of them or know anything about them? Thanks

These guys? From the Cajun location that would be my first guess.Does it have an e85 kit on it? If not you might be needing to do octane booster to feed that much hp engine. E.g. it likely has highly overdriven supercharger over 14psi boost. I'm not saying don't buy it, just that you might need to detune a pulley if no e85 to run pump gas. If it were me I'd also have a data log of the tune looked at by someone trusted after I bought it to make sure it wasn't going lean or knock retard.

It has to be on E85 to hit those numbers, or it's literally RUNNING on meth. More than likely it's got E85 and Meth however. And agreed with above, it's going to be running overdriven to hit that power. Just know your limits and the cars limits at that amount of power/supercharger RPM/heat.

It has the meth system on it. My last car that I had built it needed 93 octane and had to run torco as it was 711rwhp. I just wanted to know if anyone has heard of them and how good their work was before I went any further on this car. I really would like to get it but I want to know what kind of reputation they have and the quality of their work.

Google reviews has two 5 stars. A girlfriend and a cousin?

I am thinking you were referring to something more like this:

Having lived in the south, the stereotype joke reply is to mix up the words resent and resemble.

"Sir, I resemble that remark!"

I do not know if these are the same guys or not. The salesman just told me Ragin Cajin Performance did the upgrades on it so that is all I have to go on. I have thought about calling back and having him email me the paper work on the upgrades to see if there is a web site or whatever to find out who they are. I just thought I would ask here first to see what I could learn about this shop.

No, I was just trying to help research it or to see if it was in my area of Louisiana.

You don't have to "highly" overdrive the s/c to get over 14 psi boost. I use a rather conservative 2.85/9.17 pulley combo and get 14.5 with the bypass valve "tweak" in the relatively high OK humidity (this year anyway). Those #s can be reached with a cam, pulleys and an E85 sensor using just a 50/50 blend with 93 on the factory pump with a BAP.

I am off of this car,I am to scared of it. I have found another one. Thanks for your comments but I believe that one is better for someone else that has deeper pockets than me.
