No you don't need different injectors and no, that advice isn't the whole story on won't help or hurt to change them. Yes won't give you more hp to change injectors to any bigger ones. But it does require tuning and some tuners are better than others, so it costs and hurts performance unless needed and done right.


Long tube header's I'd skip in the LSA unless you are going after the higher hp and more expensive route.


If I did mods all over again I'd try just a 10% pulley with no tune or other mods and see if that was enough.
I went with more mods and e85, I enjoy the hellcat power right now, because hp is my biggest enjoyment, besides looks and comfort and handling.
I went with longtubes for the sound. The tuner suggested bumping the boost up do to the loss of boost. As for the injectors I got them from my buddy who ran them for a small time. I was going with the lower pulley setup but my isolator is making some noise, so I went with the upper pulley route since the isolator is getting replaced. I appreciate everyone's advice sincerely. Im having it tuned on February 11th and ill post my results if you guys are interested?

Thank you for taking the time to upload your results. It will help some decide how to mod their car, and provide some thoughtful entertainment to others.
ZL1s can make some power with minimal mods.

Thanks for the kind words. My advice to others is don't listen to everything on the internet. Do research on the shop you choose, and trust that your car is in good hands. Also plan on spending more money than your quote is for. Theres small things that can come up while the work is being done.
The shop that does my work is "National Speed." They have a couple locations, the one I go to is in Richmond Va and I believe they have a shop in North Carolina.

Should have gone bigger on your injectors, you're gonna want more!


I started with Deatschwerks 90# thinking they would be enough, now I have outgrown them and will be installing ID1700X in the next couple weeks. Looking for somewhere north of 1000whp on E85.

^ Not everyone wants to destroy their short block. And if we wanted to be fast ride our mod'ed motorcycles or get a lighter car to begin with.

I used them knowing that I'm staying at this power level for awhile. Plus I got them from a friend on the cheap. I understand what you mean though...my future plans are going to be upgrading my HX and fuel system. After I do that, I most likley will do a choppy cam and e85. At that point I'll get some bigger injectors.
Once all of that is done I'll leave it alone until the motor is wore out. Honestly I think the next work ill need to do is replace the rear cradle bushings. Seems to want to pull to the left in 1st when I put the hammer down. I hear its a pain in the butt to do also.

There are plenty of gen 4 stock bottom ends still alive at that power level, with many many 1/4 mile passes on them. It's all about the components selected for the build, the tune, and how they're maintained & driven.

A BMR anti-roll bar and solid or poly cradle bushings will 100% take care of your pull to the left. I went with poly cradle bushings and I wish I would have done solid now, to be honest.

I had CHenry Motorsports do mine, it's a lot of work. Not something you want to do without access to a lift.
