ADM ZL1 Clone #2 -7.0 LITER

[ADM PERFORMANCE]

So a long time customer came to me last week and stated that he wanted to be the #2 car that gets the ZL1 Blower Package,But with a twist.

He wants to put the blower on his current 7.0 liter

At ADM we tend to do alot of things first,this has to be the first 2012 ZL1 Blower on a 427.

Here is the recipe:

Original ADM built LS7 with Mahle Forged pistons
11.4:1 Compression(Unchanged)
Factory Titanium Rods
Factory Forged LS7 Crank
Machined Snout
GT-11 Cam
"LSA" 70CC Ported Heads
2" ARH Headers with Cats
3" Magnaflow Exhaust
ADM ZL1 Intake
63lb Injectors
ADM Dual fuel pump system
ADM Tune
100% Stock ZL1 Blower,Intercooler,Heat Exchanger,Stock LSA Balancer,Stock Blower Pulley
ZL1 water lines
ADM Intercooler Pump
LSA Spark Plugs


First we remove the engine and strip it down:



Then we lay out new parts:

I anticipate that this will be very popular with the ZL1 Crowd as a bulletproof upgrade for their curret 580 hp setup.

The stock LSA engines make around 470-490 rwhp in the CTSV(ZL1 Should be in that area).By increasing Cubic inches and Compression along with the swirl technology in the LSA head I feel the combo should produce great power and torque without having to overspin the supercharger.

The Boost should drop considerably with the combo we have put together here,Cubic inches and compression along with the cam choice and headers should put me in the 5.5-6 psi range on pump gas.We anticipate 630-650 rwhp on this package or 775 flywheel.

With an upper Pulley change and a little race gas or E85 this could possibly put the car in 800+ flywheel hp range or 700rwhp...With Only 1.9 liter blower

Andy, the S/C kit showing, is that a CTS kit or ZL1 kit? From what I understand the ZL1 S/C is different in some areas, like the internal Intercooler is larger and etc.
Another words, is GM already selling ZL1 S/C kit?

It is our own kit due to some differences between zl1,camaross,ctsv...

For Instance:

ZL1 HAS NO POWER STEERING PUMP
CTSV A/C AND CAMARO SS AC DOES NOT WORK ON ZL1 BLOWER
INTERCOOLER IS SAME BUT TOP IS NOT.
FUEL RAIL - BIG PROBLEM
AND MANY OTHER THINGS

But we got it all figured out.Unfortunantly we do not sell this out the door,It must be installed in house.

This is awesome Andy and should be an awesome combo and be a blast to drive. Your marketing technique is flawless "it must be isntalled in house"

Just saw where Andy posted the build. One feature of using the ZL-1 package is that ONLY the blower is driven by an eight rib belt. The pwr steering, water pump, and alternator are seperately driven by a second six rib belt. And lastly the AC compressor has its own belt just like a stock Camaro. If, for some reason, you lose/break the blower belt you just continue to drive home. Some nice engineering and forthought by GM.

I dont know about flawless

Our Homework is all done....Just need GM to get my customers their cars.

Imagine getting 200hp to the tires with just a shortblock change .......Talk about sneaky.

Good thing I asked and you responded, that some people may think ADM is just slapping a ZL1 pr CTS S/C on a SS and calling it the day.
I had forgotten about the "Electric" steering system on ZL1.

They have alot of things that will throw you for a loop,You don't have a choice but to modify.

Car #3 will be a Manual cammed LS3 Car

Car #4 will be a coupe auto..with LS3 Conversion.

Lets just say that we have our hands full.

I was just recently recommending you on Corvette Forum for a "Custom TT" to some member. So, you might get more work.

I bet you make a great role model for your children!

After this one is done, either you or the owner, should post progress photos on CF for Corvette owners to see how "custom" TT are made for Vettes. Due to less space than Camaro, the vette seem to be more challenging.

[Not that you need it], but Good luck and looking forward seeing the pics.

thats going to be insane

Totally custom kit or are you going to utilize an LPE or TTIX kit?
