Default Corvette ZR1 Performance Upgrades - LGM Performance Heads and Cam ZR1

Mike needed more power, traction, and looks from his Corvette ZR1. After seeing Lou's car run the hill the last two years he contacted me for some advice for upgrading his ZR1 to those levels. With a little time this is what we decided on. This package is almost identical to the Spectre Hill Climb winner, Lou's personal ZR1 Corvette!



All work and upgrades performed by LG Motorsports August 2011.

MODIFICATIONS
  • LG Man ****
  • LG Super Pro 1 7/8" headers
  • LGM Ported LS9 performance cylinder heads
  • Comp 921 dual springs
  • Comp chrome moly pushrods
  • LGM custom LS9 blower cam
  • Katech C5R timing chain
  • ATI 14% overdrive pulley
  • Ported blower snout
  • Cold Air induction
  • 2.3" blower pulley
  • 850cc dynamically balanced injectors
  • LGM *NEW* Super Cool ZR1 radiator
  • High flow dual pass blower intercooler
  • ForgeLine GA3R 19x10 front wheels. Gloss black with Diamond cut centers
  • ForgeLine 20x12 GA3R rear wheels. Gloss black with Diamond cut centers
  • Michelin Pilot Sport Cup ZP tires





PICS

























Graph above is the stock baseline (blue), 91 pump fuel (green), and unleaded race fuel (red).



Unlike Lou's car, Mike's car still has the stock clutch and does not have the added benefit of Meth injection.





Thank you so much Mike for letting LGM help you with your Corvette.

Let me start by y saying thank you. Anthony and the guys at LG are really great to work with. I now have a true super car. It handle and runs fantastic. We made more power than you could imagine lost weight and gained traction. The car drives like stock till you stand on it. I will be at Eureka Springs this weekend if anyone wants to see it. Great job Anthony

Lou added meth injection?

I though that it would not work with the ZR1 blower.

Near sea level the car spikes to 19-20, but carries about 18 psi.

PM sent on wheels and tires both. Let me know if you have any questions about the setup.

The car will be running the Texas Mile this year as well.
