Default Re: New super car warranty

There are times we need to get into the engine and times when its not necessary. With this particular Option: ZL1 Stage I, 700 fwhp / 600 rwhp there is no need to get into the engine. There really aren't too many trade secrets as the LSA engine has been out for quite some time and literally, hundreds of shop have been working on them.

We got one of the First ZL1s and tested our components/pkg on it. It made the power we needed and we have been improving and revising the option since then.

All of the info on the Webs sites is not 100% accurate.

Here are the parts necessary to Achieve the power levels. (There are other ways to get there, but this is the most cost effective. IMO)
ATI Damper
Lower Pulley
Idler relocation bracket
Belt
Injectors
Cold Air Box
Headers
Off road connection pipes
NicKey Super tune
93 Octane Premium Gas

Thanks Stephano, that helps a lot. I just read about the one car you did with the Lingenfelter engine that was at Indy in 2012. Very nice. I would not mind driving that around.

I also read the warranty that was refered to earlier in the thread for Magnuson super chargers. I can see all the subtle differences one could get into, on a warranty claim. For example, they go as far as requiring no more than 91 octane (last page), if you sign up for their warranty. Looks like they can protect themselves, if they wanted to.

That looks like a nice flat torque plot!. I went and looked at the Lingenfelter plot (although dated), and it did not look as flat. I would judge yours as better.
