Shame on you for calling this a ZL1. Put an all aluminum 427 BBC in there and then you'll have the right to use that nomenclature. Hell, even an LS based 427 motor would suffice. You have bolted a turbo kit on to a stock SS, that's it. The power numbers are nice, but a ZL1, this is not.

Anyways, I applaud your work, and tuning. A 520 whp Camaro is impressive. Im just saying the ZL1 name probably wasn't the right name choice, and you really couldn't expect it to go over too well with a board full of Camaro die hard fans. The car sounds great, and the power is a huge bonus, enjoy the car!

Have to admit..these turbo's coming for the 5th gens are nice. Very nice indeed.

But Warranty.....is it worth it ? Time will tell.

mwilkes · 08-31-2009, 02:37 PM

nope, i hear ya... i'm not arguing your point...

general23cmp · 08-31-2009, 05:09 PM

Does this use one exhaust manifold or two to drive the turbo?

mwilkes · 08-31-2009, 06:34 PM

both manifolds drive the turbo

Kyle2k · 08-31-2009, 08:06 PM

Could we get pictures of the custom exhaust manifolds

?

PS- it's fast and a good option for L99ers, who gives a shit what its called...

mwilkes · 08-31-2009, 09:55 PM

I'll see what I can find on the manifolds

I care what its called. a ZL1 is the camaro's version of the ZR1 corvette.

just like we dont want someone to slap on a s/c and call an SS a Z28.

lovesboost · 09-01-2009, 08:30 AM

it looks good. but i too wouldnt have called it a zl1. regardless in that last pic....is that a custom ac line? or does it use the stock lines?
