Base Model ZR1 Conversion
Well my build is about done so I figured I would share it with you guys.
Went from a heads/cam LS3 to the following:
-Built by STG Motorsports LLC
-Full LS9 Blower and accessory swap retaining the LS3 block
-Lingenfelter Performance Engineering Snout and Intake
-Injector Dynamics 1300s
-KP Racing Heat Exchanger, Intercooler Blocks, and Pump
-MTLFAB Custom Ice Tank
-Custom Upper Pulley from Synergy Motorsports
-Lower pulley from ATI Performance Products
-a TON of Redhorse Performance Inc. fittings/line courtesy of Wagon Wheel Performance
-ARP Headstuds
-Brian Tooley Racing cam and valve train
-Frankenstein Racing Heads LLC ported LS3 heads
-Kooks Headers and Exhaust Longtubes
-F.T.I Competition Converters & Transmissions stall
-Fore Innovations, LLC Triple Pump Fuel System
-Tune from Tuning by Shane Hinds
I haven't really seen anyone else complete the swap in a base model. I've seen a few people drop in LS9 crate motors, but nothing to this extent.

Nice! Love the "black n blue" paint scheme.
Is that the LPE air bridge? Why does it have a big dimple on top?
Also what stall did you go with?
What kind of boost are you running?
Is that the RK sport Whipple hood?
That thing is going to be plenty of fun.
