Kenne bell lineup!!
So I was just searching and I know that there is a whipple 2.9L kit for our ZL1's but never seen any numbers or anyone do it yet.
Also check this out http://www.kennebell.net/KBWebsite/P.../PriceList.pdf Kenne bell has ZL1 aftermarket blowers I know our stock motors won't tolerate what some of these beasts can push but why hasn't a company built an LSA and slapped a bigger blower on to make a tq/horsepower monster? Is it just me? Nobody else has looked into this? or scratching there heads as I am? Wayne |

Nope I seen mad mans work and is crazy impressive, but 427 swaps are nothing new in caddy world or camaro world!
I mean LSA built bottom end bigger blower, keep the factory muscle with more strength so to speak |

fair enough, but you can see that his stock hood ain't gonna fit, so the odds of an aftermarket setup using the stock hood and a bigger SC is going to be tough.

Oh I hear ya, but then again that's a 4L blower under there on a 427ci as well
I don't think hood clearance would be problem for a moderate blower increase! Strut tower brace .. Now that may be a different story |

The Stock GM- ZL1 1.9 Blower is very efficient. It responds well to being overdriven. It can push a stock LSA long block very close to it's safe limit.

And I always used 700-720whp as a pretty much max for a LSA stock internals! But as I seen some of your work I'm not doubting you at all !! So I'm pushing 661whp now at about 13 psi! With the works done except porting the blower! As I was wondering in the range of a 850whp monster which this blower/motor can't handle stock but the crank is super strong, rods and pistons need to be forged! But seems everyone just says " well reached stock LSA limit lets slap 427, or RHS 4**! Keep the madness coming btw!! |

KB doesn't have the best reputation for building efficient blowers, the stock blower is WAAAY more efficient than the KB 2.8 unfortunately. I would have loved to use a KB because its much smaller than the 4.0, but the Whipples are superior in every possible way except packaging.

I make 705rwhp 694trq with a auto with my set-up 2013 ZL1. Love it all day long, stock block and heads.. I might do a set of heads one day and upgrade the fuel system to push 750rwhp if possible. The car runs really good right now I love it!
