Supercharging the Chevy SS - ZL1 Converter is In!!!

[@azcamaro602]

im working on a silverado with 6l80, would that zr1 torque converter work on my 6l80 aswell or is it different between car and truck

[@BanditDavesToyChest]

Should all bolt up without issue but realize you’ll only be bolting 3 bolts of the six on the converter unless you change the flex plate. I didn’t do that and know plenty of 1000 hp cars that only used the three. Great DD converter and hits hard as shit with the right tuner. PLEASE make sure you have a competent tuner if you’re dumping power into the 6 speed. Highly recommend Derek Dunbar at DDTech if you’re shopping for one.

Try the dipstick again. I got mine in. Not rubbing the harness at all

[@MrJoselcampos]

I must have missed it but did you end up using the stock Flex Plate and go with the 3 Bolts? If you went with a new flex plate can you share with me the part number? Thanks

[@BanditDavesToyChest]

I just went three bolts in the stock flexplate. I’ll get you an SFI flexplate PN shortly!

What rpm stall is the zl1 converter

[@BanditDavesToyChest]

xAngel 97 2200 is the general consensus though it could be a little higher or lower depending on weight. It’s about the max you want to go for a blower car with a 6L80e short first gear.

BanditDave going on a chevy ss as well

BanditDave is the one from pace modified? I found one from GMPARTSDIRECT for WAY cheaper even with core and it’s brand spanking new.

[@Thabed100]
