Good luck OP these LS9 engines are very over engineered from GM and Bullet Proof! 
That being said I hope you get what your looking for!

i just bought a zr1 from a dealer with 4,065 miles. drove it for 1k then i dropped it to the garage to get it upgraded. i wanted to do bolt ons only but, a corvette with no cam is NOTHING, so i told my mechanic to do the heads and install a cam for me. next thing i got a text from my mechanic saying that i should see this !!! i got there AFAP and one piston is cracked that bent my rod and cracked my cylinder bore. i was really pissed off.

Just curious. If the ZR1 is the ultimate in Corvettes with 640 HP, what is lacking about them that makes you want even more performance and power shortly after purchasing them?

There has been a handful of ZR1 rollers passed around from the Houston/San Antonio/Dallas area through the last couple years.
Guys that mod them figure out that they are hardly "bulletproof"....
Strong for stock stuff yes, bulletproof, no...Damn sure not at 900-1000 rwhp.
I'll keep my eyes/ears open and post up if I see anything.

I strongly beg the differ on this. They really are the modern day 2jz Supra if you will in terms of raw strength . My car makes 800 wheel on a Mustang dyno for 2 years and 7 thousand miles. Stock clutch, rear end, diff, axles, bottom end ect.. Runs and drives like a factory ZR1.. 1000 actual “WHEEL HORSE” is radical AF out of stock car but if any car could come close on OEM componets its a ZR1.
