Rapid Motorsports ZL1 Build- 784rwhp/757rwtq

[Dutchman427]

Results are listed. I am really happy with the results. I am glad I went with Mikey's custom spec'ed cam. This is the first time he put one in an LSA motor. I am glad I dealt with Jeremy Formato as well!

Just got back from picking the car up from Mikey's. Absolute beast to drive and finally has that raw power feeling like a built F-body had. Believe it or not, the tune is conservative and there is more in it. Mike did not want to push it though. Also, stock fuel pump and did not need a KB BAP either. I have one for sale if anybody needs one. Owhite3003 is going to try and upload my dyno sheet. Appreciate it bud!

784rwhp and 757rwtq are some killer numbers!! I will work on the dyno sheet for you bud!!

That's awesome, curious how much life the bottom end has at those power levels.

Thanks man, I appreciate it. Yeah, you got to respect the power because as you know, that ass end comes around quick. Is Qatar in the U.A.E?

I hear ya, I am about to install a twin turbo system on my ZL1 and will be able to make as much power as I want until it goes boom. Not sure how far to push it. Seems quite a few have hit 750-800. There is a guy who has the record and says he has a stock bottom end and runs 145mph +. It would take around 900whp to do that.

Well, good luck with you build. It seems like turbo is the way to go. Keep me posted on your build. My buddy is doing a single turbo set-up on my old 2004 Cobra. You know how this game goes, if the bottom end comes apart build it better. Forged bottom end.

The ZL1 is down at Rapid Motorsports in Birdsboro, PA. Mike is a well known LS engine builder/tuner and his 99 Trans Am was the first LS1 to go into the 9s. He will be building and tuning the car. I will also be using Mike's custom grind blower camshaft. Mikey's cams always make good power and he is quite popular with the F-body crowd. Jeremy Formato of Fasterproms will be porting/milling the heads, blower, snout, and throttle body. My goal is to get as much power out of the stock components as possible. I will post up dyno results when it is done and looking forward to going to the track when it gets warm out.

Actually, No I am not. Heads, blower, snout, and throttle body were ported. Milled the heads. That was in the paragraph though, not the list.
