Engine & Performance Upgrades
Here’s a deep dive into the impressive engine and performance upgrades using Chevrolet performance parts that transform this Camaro ZL1 into a monster.
Specs:
| Engine | 6.2-litre V8 Supercharged |
| Transmission | 10-speed AT |
| Max Power | 769.5hp |
| Peak Torque | 1,020Nm |
| Drivetrain | RWD |
Air Intake Upgrade:
Starting with the intake, the engine uses a Velossa Tech Red Air Intake. This upgrade ensures the engine receives a cooler and denser air charge, optimizing power output. Cooler air allows for more efficient combustion, resulting in increased horsepower and torque.
Fuel Intake Upgrade:
The ported throttle body from Mamo Motorsport improves throttle response, allowing for quicker and more precise control over engine power. This translates to a more engaging and responsive driving experience for the muscle car.
Induction Upgrade:
A ported supercharger lid from Nitrous Express allows for increased airflow into the supercharger. While a Jokerz Performance ported LT4 supercharger by itself boosts overall power output significantly. This is further boosted by using an ATI 15% lower pulley to increase the speed at which the crankshaft spins the supercharger.
Engine Cooling Upgrade:
The upgraded cooling system in the Camaro ZL1 uses a CoolingMist Stage 2 Three-port Water Meth Injection Kit. This system injects a water-methanol mixture into the engine’s intake system.
The water evaporates, absorbing heat from the air and lowering intake temperatures. This not only helps prevent detonation but also allows for more aggressive engine tuning for increased power.
Exhaust System Upgraded:
Larger diameter ⅞-inch headers from Speed Engineering allow for improved exhaust flow. This reduces back pressure and allows the engine to breathe more easily. The upgrade results in increased power and a more responsive feel.
The Camaro also uses an AWE Tuning Complete ‘Touring’ Resonated 3” Exhaust System. This exhaust system prioritises a throaty and aggressive exhaust note. However, the resonators help maintain a reasonable sound level for everyday driving.
Engine Upgrade Results:
The combined effect of these extensive modifications is a staggering increase in power. This ZL1 produces 769.5hp and a whopping 1,020Nm of peak torque. This translates to a truly exhilarating driving experience.
Handling Upgrades & Driving Dynamics
The Camaro ZL1 from Fast X has been meticulously modified to help put all the new power down to the road effectively and efficiently.
Suspension & Chassis Upgrades:
BMR trailing and control arms, rear chassis bracing, and an eLSD lock-out kit work together to enhance handling and stability. These upgrades allow the car to corner more sharply and precisely while minimizing body roll.
BMR lowering springs provide a more aggressive stance and potentially improve handling dynamics by lowering the car’s centre of gravity.
Brake Upgrade:
Upgraded Brembo 6-pot/4-pot calipers paired with improved brake fluid and hoses provide exceptional stopping power to handle the car’s increased performance capabilities.
Tyre Upgrade:
Continental SportContact 7 tyres deliver superior grip for optimal handling on the road or track. These high-performance tyres maximise the car’s cornering ability and provide better traction during acceleration.
Authenticity of Performance Upgrades
The owner has meticulously documented the extensive modifications made to this car, with invoices readily available for inspection. Additionally, the car has been maintained by reputable shops, ensuring its performance and overall condition are top-notch.
