It says a lot about the durability of the LS9 and the competency of LGM.

We have had some pretty bad weather here lately, should have a video of Bryans car soon. Its incredible to drive.

Also, an update on the hand held tuner, I believe I have a solution that will allow up to 5 tunes, and the ability to transfer data and data logs as well as tunes back and fourth to us.

I bet it is exciting to drive....... and lots of fun.

For me this has been the most exciting news I have heard surrounding an already exciting car

What would you think of this with the new transmission ratio option?

I kinda like the idea of relaxed revs while doing long distance cruising, however upsetting this stellar performance is not an option, at least not to 150 or so

Would you be able to market this as a kit to be installed somewhere else? (closer than Texas to me like maybe MTI in Atlanta)

Louis,

I am excited! Good to hear about the hand-held tuner also.

You are very fortunate

That is the best performance mod I have ever seen

Purr like a kitten and run like a scalded cheetah

Looking forward to hearing your impression

I am totally blown away by this and the work done on you hill climber!!!

I may have to accelerate my timing on visiting your shop and leaving my ZR1 for a maximum power makeover!! Terrific work and documentation here on the Forum. Thanks again Lou!!!

What size injectors were needed to run the e85 with those mods? I plan on doing a cam, lower pulley, and lpe's upper tb and pulley. I would like to try e85 but obviously would need the injectors. With the hand held programmer I could do this. How cautious do I need to be if I get normal premium gas when the e85 isn't available? Do I need to run the tank as low as possible and fill it with e85 before flashing back to that tune? Is it bad to go back and forth frequenty?
Thanks!

Used your mods on both my Z06 and my ZR1 with great results.
My problem is the stock tires can't keep the rubber on the pavement.
Only driving on the street. What do you recommend for better traction that will fit on my stock 2009 ZR1 rims?
Others have suggested the new Nitto NTO5R, but if I'm correct, they don't fit a stock ZR1 rim.
I presently have approx 670 RWHP.
Suggestions?
Thanks

Hey man.. I know, I'm pretty stirred up about it. Thanks! I'm getting the itch to drive her again, and each day becomes more difficult. Trying to stay chill, and sleep well. haha

We'll have to take our beasts out around town some-time after all is done...

Wrapping up a 2010 ZR1 here at the shop running on a number of different fuels. I thought you would be interested to see just what a fuel change can make on a car after increasing boost levels on it.

His package includes the following:
  • LG Super Pro 1 7/8" Exhaust
  • Stock ZR1 mufflers
  • LG 'Man ****' shift ****
  • LG Tilton Carbon clutch
  • Over drive balancer
  • LG ported LS9 blower housing and manifold
  • high flow blower snout
  • cold air inlet
  • 2.3" blower pulley
  • larger heat exchanger
  • larger injectors
  • stock short block
  • stock cylinder heads





Even on 93 octane pump fuel with the modifications we are gaining 95 RWHP and 150 RWTQ!! With a simple fuel and tune download you can add another 100 on both sides to that! So for those of you with access to E85, it shows what it can do to help out a boosted car as long as you have the need for the fuel change and can take full advantage of it.


Video's coming soon.

Got to love E85. Anthony, was the 93 octane run knock-limited and the E85 cured it?

Ridiculous power. That should skate down the road in every gear.

So easy to make it on the LS9. Good job

Currently the only injector that fits the car, and will handle the fuel supply would be a 2000cc injector. There should be a 1500cc unit coming shortly that would fit better for those using dual fuel (pump and E85)

I would like to know the turn out on this especially if "is possible out of the stock blower."
