Trying to choose my mods... - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Hi all,
I've ordered my ZL1 a few weeks ago and will be spending the winter months planning out my mods. My goal is to keep the car streetable and reliable but also to get solidly into the 11's at the strip. I've been racing for quite a few years and have a drag car, but I have no experience working on anything as modern as the ZL1.
Right now I'm looking at the RotoFab mods or the stage 1 Lingenfelter kit. My concern is that if I do too much it will cause problems with the car, which is the last thing i want to do. Any thoughts or comments?

1. Cai is a no brainer

2. pulley change is a no brainer as well you just have to decide upper or lower.

3. Tb is a no brainer to me as well $150

If you go too far over 600whp you will need injectors.

I think I will do cai, tb, lower 9.1 pulley, jba mid pipe, tune.

All fairly cheap individually not going crazy with boost and car could be returned to stock easy if I wanted to flip it.

Air cleaner, 2.38 LPE UPPER, tune.. car will run mid 11s all day. No injector s needed.

The stock throttle body on the ZL1 is 87mm and the snout is 90MM. So what people have been doing in swapping the stock throttle body with the LS7 90mm. I heard gains are around 15rwhp. I'll be getting my ported and polish 90mm throttle body and snout here soon.

DOES CHANGING PULLEYS VOID THE WARRANTY?

Changing anything but the air cleaner can void its warranty
