as for the meth it seems to risky as if there was problem I wouldn't have the money right now to rebuild.

Also I have shops that says it doesn't do much its a band aid for a week fuel system, another shop that swears by it but then I see post of f$&% pistons...
There are ways to put fail-safes in the tune in case something goes wrong with your meth. As long as your motor does not depend on meth, your good.

I'm hoping he tunes my 16 since it will be in tampa for a Velocity channel episode.

He does remote tunes too man. In fact he has done a ton of remote tuning on my car. When I was full bolt ons, he tuned the whole thing using nothing but data loggs. After he was done, I took the car to a dyno, send him the sheet and loggs, he got another 7 whp out of it, thats how close he had it without the dyno.

When I added my second meth nozzle and added a BAP he tuned it all remotely again.

Give him a shout.

>> Just me being overly sensitive, probably not needed.

Also could I have more info on the oil cooler set up? Like where does it start and end... did you remove the factory and plumb it there..

>> Fully replaces the factory oil "heater"

Never though of trimming the zl1 pan like that.. I wasnt going to install mine til I saw that ty for the pics.

>> NP

As for the e85 question.. its just to expensive to do right now.

>> I have a huge fuel system, it was expensive.

as for the meth it seems to risky as if there was problem I wouldn't have the money right now to rebuild.

>> It is a safety net only

Also I have shops that says it doesn't do much its a band aid for a week fuel system, another shop that swears by it but then I see post of f$&% pistons...

>> Meth on top of E85 and my FORE fuel system & Diamond Pistons / Callies Rods is like having Arnold being protected by the Rock, who is being protected by Rhonda Rousey. It's just safety my man ,if the Meth fails/is off the tune is off but the engine would most likely survive the pass. AMP doesn't tune cars within an inch of their life, UNLESS a customer begs for it. We have a good relationship and these guys know that I wanted a fast and reliable street car so..... it will have a KILL setting which will be the dyno numbers I through in my signature, hoping for 1100+ rwhp but that will be high boost. Driving around on low/mid boost or 700/900rwhp will be how the car is treated 99.9% of the time.

This is my ZL1. Andy built this custom intake pipe since the intake port is taller. I went with the Holley Sniper for looks, not HP. Out for powder coat now.

Update.. everything with the kit has performed flawlessly so far. I'm still battling HP motorsports bad install but, I think its finally over.. there was a wiring harness that never got relocated or protected that ran along the pass side exhaust and turbo on the transmission. It ended up melting but since the idiots thought they didn't need direction they missed this part but I had powerfab handle it they also fabricated an intake that went into the fender wells for me. Really made the turbos noises sound so much better and no more melted air filter. They also retuned the car and the driving manners are like being stock again.. no erratic idling, no surging at low rpms, and very very smooth acceleration now.

I'm still on 93 with 10lb springs but boost or psi is only 8 psi mustang dyno and the new dyno that hooks to axels yielded 698 rwhp and 702 rwhp on mustang, torque 672 axle dyno and 716 on mustang.

The Hennessy drag strip I was only able to pull of a 13.13 @ 126.7 on goodyear eagle f1s my fastest mph was 129.92 in the quarter. Im not sure it was a good night for anyone saw very few nitto and MT drags break 13s I'm loving the MPH I was down every time 5 to 10 car lengths then a miracle comeback to win by inches... very fun..

Giving my honest opinion I would choose the kit again and again. But just a few little things to Note...

1. DRAG INTERCOOLER.. it's not just my car some at powerfab having same problem and some are not. In stop n go traffic the Temps can climb as high as 240 plus with the AC on only with ac off the temp is never above 212, on the hwy no AC temp is 192 with AC on temp is 196 this is in 100 degrees with 80 percent humidity. So drag or street intercooler is a big decision. .

2. I'd buy with the AGP cold air kit or have a shop fab the intakes to the fenders sounds so much better and I bet the cooler is healthier for the motor..

3. Fuse tap works but it looks that it could come out very easy especially road racing so I do something permanent for the pump and timer.

4. If your running 3 in exhaust it's worth while to expand the turbo section of about 14 inches to 3 in vs stock but I understand it needs to fit factory

5. Pvc system or can.. vent those cover with 10 or 12 AN don't mess around..

One last note...

The custom service has been spectacular with AGP.

Upgrading the radiator/fans would easily fix any cooling issues (which I've never seen, even in 120+ here) that the large FMIC may have.

Keep me posted on what you do for intercooler upgrades, or fans, etc. I'd be open to it for myself. Mine stays between 195 and 200. Sat in traffic for a bit in Houston and climbed to 218.

And between Merrell, you, and me we have some racing to do!

Sounds like a plan..

Dry heat is totally different than humidity unreal..

Powerfab is supposed to let me know if a aftermarket radiator helps aswell.

I've been spending a lot of time in Florida, so I get that. Still the camaros cool just fine with the large FMIC if radiator is clean, coolant burped, and ~80/20 mix with some water wetter. A few little cooling mods and I bet you have no issue.

8" in height.

Power difference/etc, all depends on setup. At 600hp, basically nothing. At 1200hp, a lot.

Would it be smarter to go bigger from the get go if planning to grow into later?

Upgraded radiator needed with bigger intercooler?

The front fascia comes off so easy that's up to you.. measurements are good but to give you and idea the drag intercooler covers the whole area the other or street goes flush with top of the bumper bar or crumple bar.
