2002 ZL 1, HOW MUCH HP! - Page 3

GRB- Thanks for the great info!! I was wondering if you were doing a cage, I agree with no cage on a street car, plus you'll save weight too. So you were taking your ZL1 to Katech or LPE, thats interesting, I've always wondered if anyone would take a GMMG car elsewhere to be modified further. Seems to be alot of good tuners out there.

C - There are good tuners out there but I only know of three that are trusted and, in my opinion, only Katech or LPE have a chance of adding value to a car. I figured if I was crazy enough to put $75K in a maro I might as well go all the way and build a hot rod right, regardless of costs. Lamar probably turns down more work than he does so I didn't really know if he would be interested or if he would remember me after 30 years. He was and he did.

And yeah, it's cross my mind that I could have an AMG SL55, 911 Turbo or Dinan M5. But to those who understand no explaination is necessary and to those that don't no expaination will suffice. (plagiarized)sp? So when people ask me what it is I'll just say, "it's just a little Camaro". [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

I really want one of those 495 hp AMG's......arrgh.

Charley I know the feeling. My daily driver is an S55 AMG that only has 360hp. I've been in touch with AMG in Germany to get the kompressor put on my car, but they won't do it. I may have to trade in, but it just seems too expensive on new cars.

GRB- I read you loud and clear my GA Brother! Something about these "little camaros" flows straight through my blood. Unless I get a little more radical with Berger #56 and start the quest for more cubic inches, my next car will be something similar to Charley's mule, I love that car and I want to build a hot rod. Hey Goodmark called my Brother here in NE. GA last Friday and wanted to speak with him about building either a 65-66 Nova or a 68-69 Camaro from the ground up, either one will be the same concept as the (black/flames) Chevelle that Metal Finish in Cleveland, GA. did most recently. Should be good experience for when I want to do mine!

You should take a ride in my old ZL1 Clone that I just got back. Makes about 900- 1000 hp at rear wheels on pump gas...Geeze.

So did Jody pick up one of your other cars, since you got this one back?. Still have the procharger on it?

**Charley Lillard** · #28 01-01-2003, 02:47 AM

Still has the Procharger. Jody is gonna build a twin turbo smallblock car.

you were right about the phase 2 moving to the phase 3 but since I waited too late (Billy had already had the phase 2 motor in the car and I got to see it started), it would still cost me an extra 1500 plus the stage 3 cost. I (well with wife's permission)decided with the cost difference and someone else possible getting my LS6 #46 ZL1 stamped motor that I would get it and install it into my project 82 Z28.
