I thought I would post up on my recent build that was just finished up. This is my third zr1 I have built in the last five years or so. I seem to always come back to these cars for some reason even though they run a little hot, especially in Texas. I ended up building three very similar cars that were actually pretty close in mods, but they were night & day on power and how they delivered it. There is just something special about a c6 zr1 that words cant really describe. They are super strong right out of the gate and very smooth with loads of brake.
Build one in 2012: 750 / 750 via BTR ported stock heads, BTR stage 3 cam, Lingenfelter snout & intake, ported 90mm TB, 2.6 / 14%, AR long tubes, no cats, E85, 26* advance. This car drove like stock, pulled hard down low, was a little lazy on top for me.
Build two in 2016: 825 /800 via Texas Speed ported stock heads, GPTuning stage 3, Lingenfelter snout & synergy intake, ported blower, 102 TB, 2.35 / 14%, Kooks, no cats, E85, 26* advance. This car made good power everywhere, down low & up top. Def did not drive like stock, it was pretty gnarly. You could def tell you built a fast car.
Build three 2018: 901 / 769 via PRC heads, GPTuning stage 4, Kong Performance 108mm Race Ported snout, Kong Performance intake, Kong Performance ported blower, 102 TB, 2.35 / 14%, Kooks, no cats, E85, 23* advance. This car is one wild ride, it just feels rad AF and is an absolute freight train on the toll road in mexico. These dyno numbers were in a 120 degree dyno room @ 3500 DA. There no doubt this car is making 950+ whp in good weather.
Matt & Dale @ Dedicated Motorsports built & tuned cars two & three. Matts attention to detail along with his ability to fabricate and weld up anything you can really think of sets him apart from the rest. You just cant find a better shop to deal with, trust me I have tried. The Kong Performance port work, race snout & intake really made all the difference this time around if you ask me. The GP4 was def a better cam for making power up top and if you notice it made power past redline which rare for these cars. There is no doubt if I build another one or was building one now, Dedicated Motorsports & Kong Performance would be the way to go.

Do you make it out to any meets? I ran door to door with a 880whp ZR1 from SA a few weeks ago in my nitrous Z06. Adding a smidge more power. Would be fun to line up.

I used to get out a little, I dont get out much anymore due to working so much. But as soon as the weather cools in Oct - Nov I will get more time and would love to make some pulls.

Love the comparison of the three builds. Really shows what we have learned about how much power can be gained from opening up the air pathway to the blower.
