The ULTIMATE Camaro ZL1 LT4 Supercharger Lid SHOOTOUT

[@lakeothepinesfishingguidel8692]

I think you just saved a bunch of LT4 owners about a grand on some pie in the sky claims! Thank you for a great video!

[@blackula02]

I love real results, not claims and assumptions by fan boys and companies.

[@unclemel8276]

I had the DSX lid, sold it and upgraded to the LMP lid. As far as sound in the car. DSX has a better whine sound, even at low speeds. IMO

[@dansherwood9851]

I’m at 825 rwhp on my 17 with a ported lt4 blower, cam, upgraded fuel system, LT’s, pullies, TB, e60 so probably a good candidate for one of these lids so looking forward to ur next test.

[@floridahighperformance]

For sure!

[@scottzito4797]

Great information, good pace and production. Really entertaining to watch!

[@floridahighperformance]

@@scottzito4797 thank you we are testing lids on my Camaro zl1 next week

[@ZLRob]

This is one of the best videos ive seen regarding the topic hands down. You need to do another test involving the recent addition of Billet Specialties and the DMS lid as those are recent newcomers as well.

[@AngelRios259]

Great video and information! Im currently working on building my 22 ZL1 and i can say this video was very helpful!

[@floridahighperformance]

Thank you for the feedback, glad you found value in it. We are set to release the second test where I add these to my heads/cam ZL1 Bad Punkn!

[@mayosturgell4474]

Erik, I really enjoyed our conversation about my SS 1LE. I really appreciate all your testing and your videos. They’re very informative and helpful. I’m going to email you about the issue I’m having with my builder. Only reason I went with him is I thought he was a good friend and a good shop. I’m not going to bash him on here but I will in my email.

[@floridahighperformance]

@@mayosturgell4474 it’s np. Sorry you’re having issues…that’s never fun. Email me….

[@usacshaker1]

I bought an mpi lid for my zl1 strictly for cosmetic reasons for car shows. Noticed a bit more wine but no significant gains as expected. I currently have Roto-Fab non big gulp, 95 mm throttle body, and flex fuel and tune. Topped out at about 622rwhp. Great content! Looking forward to seeing what BAD Pumpkin does next!!!😎👊

[@floridahighperformance]

MPI is a nice lid for sure

[@stamenblock]

I have the DSX lid on my 2016 CTS-V. With the stealth package powder coat option for a more discreet look. I have not tried any other lids but couldn't be happier with the results going from stock to the DSX one. Whine alone was worth the money!

[@floridahighperformance]

There you go!

[@rommel-777]

Brother, you are putting in the work! Wish I was in FL would def bring my Z to you thank you very much, keep up the amazing work and God bless mate

[@floridahighperformance]

I appreciate that!

[@ClaytonYatescarenthusiast]

This is youtube! Dude best video on automotive youtube in a while. Keep this up and you're channel will blow up. Thank you

[@floridahighperformance]

Wow, thanks!

[@terryrutherford2114]

I have the DSX lid on my 2016 Z06. I have not dynoed but I didn't feel a seat of your pants performance gain. I still don't have the whine I would like, but it improved a little. My LSA engine had screaming supercharger whine. haha! Thanks for the video!

[@floridahighperformance]

Thanks for sharing

[@Boost_Add1ct]

Great job testing with as much consistency as possible! Look forward to the test results on the heads/cam ported blower set-up, I agree and think thats where the results will standout👌

[@floridahighperformance]

Thank you!

[@LateModelPerformance]

Just watched this for the first time. Thanks for the review on all of the lids. Our lid does not really start waking up until 18ish psi with higher hp and the iat will start to shine at that boost level as well in a drag/road race test. I will be looking foward to another video! Thanks -Alec

[@floridahighperformance]

@@LateModelPerformance it’s a quality part- top to bottom- hands down. Thanks guys!

[@andrewg.2165]

This is your best video so far imo…I really didn’t expect those results!!!

[@floridahighperformance]

A lot more of this coming

[@faithdunn6471]

I own a 2019 zl1 and did some modifications ... I completely agree with your opinion b4 you said it Thanks for showing people real hp gains

[@floridahighperformance]

You're welcome. Lid test 2.0 coming soon...

[@gms.socal.solutions]

Great video... are you going to replicate with the ported blower next?

[@floridahighperformance]

@@gms.socal.solutions filming the episode now actually with a head cam swap

[@gms.socal.solutions]

@@floridahighperformance Fantastic... Same lids? or are you going to test more?

[@MF-qq4dm]

Been patiently and eagerly waiting for this one! The content Lt4 owners have been waiting for, thanks for the work Florida High Performance! Looking forward to this comparison on a ported blower 🙌

[@billbassett8417]

Great video and information. I know that was a lot of work and the data and knowledge is definitely worth it. I hope you keep making videos like this for the people. Keep up the great work 👍 💪

[@floridahighperformance]

Thank you - a lot more coming...takes a lot of time and money to produce these. Lid test 2.0 coming soon on my personal ZL1!

[@YeysonPinula]

Really good information Great video 👍

[@floridahighperformance]

Thank you

[@oldschool6268]

Thank you for doing the test, you spent hard earned money that you didn't haft to spend. My 2018 ZL1 has a roto fab grey filter and borla Atak cat back, that's it, the car is about 18 months from pay off, once that happens it will definitely get a lid change in a magnuson 2650R, katech billet pump and a stage 3 cam in my 6 speed manual. working on getting my twin turbo chevelle on the road. 72 T56 magnum, LQ4 6.0 Stock rings low boost 12 psi or less, 2 borg warner S256SX 93 octane with M1 methanol, LS9 head gasket, ARP head bolts. So I have plenty work for now.

[@floridahighperformance]

Best of luck with the build!

[@shatz72]

Love your content and looking forward to part 2 with these lids. I completely agree with your opinion about seeing much better results with more mods.👍🔥

[@floridahighperformance]

Thanks so much!

[@mjc3502]

One of, if not the BEST video ever on a subject. Amazing that you performed this test. I have been looking at a lid wondering if the results match their claims. Great video, thanks.

[@floridahighperformance]

Thank you!

[@Nolimitv3]

I own a 17 ctsv and was thinking of doing a lmp lid but Dsx will do

[@floridahighperformance]

Whatever you choose will be better than the stock V Lid!

[@davesteck766]

I think it’s worth mentioning the DSX lid power gain listed on the site is compared against the 15-16 lid and NOT against the tall 17+ lid.

[@floridahighperformance]

Great info thank you for adding this point

[@byronmcewen292]

This is real deal content for lt4 owners. Thanks! Keep up the good work. What do you think is better jokerz or kong? Looking at ported blower 103tb and big gulp for my next round of mods. Any input would be awesome.

[@floridahighperformance]

We use both. Comes down to client goals. In my experience having tested both, Jokerz has more low end hit over kong on the lt4 stuff….i actually have a video on here where I test the Kong x port on a head cam zl1 and discuss the differences in powerband from x port to race port

[@dsmubz]

Wow I've been trying to do this test for like a year, haven't had the time, thank you for your time, these tests take quite a bit of time to do.

[@floridahighperformance]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Asizzle22ZL1]

As always you give great content. Appreciate the work you put it giving us common folks great info as we look into which mods will benefit us the most

[@floridahighperformance]

Glad to help

[@SuperCarSweden]

Awesome info & video, I agree with your opinion for why not too much different. Waiting for your next experiment on your ZL1. 👍🏻

[@Standyourground21]

Waiting for the high horsepower ZL1 test. Subscribed.

[@floridahighperformance]

Coming….

[@gimmethecarkeys]

I agree with everything you said. More changes would be noticed on a max effort type build. Might gain 15-25 on a car that makes 800+whp

[@TheRealMcCoy88]

Just bought the LMP lid mainly because it's the biggest and best looking one imo. Gonna powder coat it gold and slap that baby on 😎. I only have 2" headers and catless X-pipe, cai and an E50 tune currently making 700whp. Hopefully after I port the blower and do pulleys, cam and full E85 i can make well over 800whp 🤞

[@floridahighperformance]

Sounds fun! Good luck with the build.

[@lsxfan4725]

Nice video, can you make a pull on the ported blower before the heads cam swap to see if there’s much difference

[@floridahighperformance]

I actually do that in episode 2 of my ZL1 (bad punkn) series which you can go watch on this channel

[@ruru2500]

You'll get it if you keep at it. Gain some confidence, you got this! Really appreciate the info you provided here.

[@floridahighperformance]

TY

[@trdtuner7]

Elite content! Can’t wait for the next test! May have to switch my LMP lid to save 10lbs

[@ByrdMan392]

Im very interested to see the Orange ZL1 im tuned in 💪🏽

[@floridahighperformance]

Coming soon...

[@blg8234]

Awesome testing. Very informative.......but where's part 2? VERY curious to see if the lids made a difference on a modded blower. 🤔🤔🤔

[@floridahighperformance]

Drops SOON...just finished my ZL1. Film LID TEST 2.0 next week and edit/drop soon after!!! It is coming. I am one man and run one of the busiest shops in the country.

[@myoneblackfriend3151]

I can't afford one of these, but I sure like them. Thank you for sharing your research. Maybe someday I'll get one. Don't hold your boost though.

[@pimpnick4920]

I just put the dsx lid on my 18 ctsv. It has way more whine. I like that it fits under the strut brace. I would recommend for any v owners. Edit. I had a rotofab and a catch can on it for 20k miles. I took off the factory silencer plate from the lid when i did it. I could barely hear it. Now it's nice. Not too obnoxious like my friends trx.

[@floridahighperformance]

Thank you for the feedback!

[@CAC-1111]

Good test, I almost bought a lid for my stock V

[@floridahighperformance]

Glad this helped...

[@lonldrifter]

Since my 16 cts v came with the smaller gen 1 lid. I upgraded to a DSX lid, but also added LT, Intake and flex tune. DSX and stock gen 2 lids cost about the same, so that too influenced my purchase. I will say, I couldn’t justify the $1,000 lids…

[@floridahighperformance]

Can’t go wrong with the DSX!

[@tmorales4836]

Great video, I learned a lot on this and I’m looking forward to your next video!

[@floridahighperformance]

Thank you so much

[@thereissomecoolstuff]

This was needed and well done. I had a prototype Gen 5 whipple with a flat vs normal top that they sell to the public. I was convinced it gave me .75-1 more psi of boost but I never got it on a dyno. Coming from C8 and want to get a ZL1. Is there any year you suggest staying away from? Good job. I enjoy your channel.

[@floridahighperformance]

Stick with 19+ ZL1

[@thereissomecoolstuff]

@@floridahighperformance thanks. Great channel.

[@emperorbobarino]

It would interesting to see this test again with a max effort on stock architecture type setup. See if there are any gains with the most maximized realistic test motor.

[@floridahighperformance]

Agreed...will conduct this test on my max effort ZL1 soon...

[@beelowss]

Hello - this was a good vid. Have you made any progress with vid 2 after the modifications to the car you mentioned in this video?

[@floridahighperformance]

My ZL1 is done...EP 3 just dropped. I will conduct the lid test 2.0 in two weeks.

[@samcase7045]

I really love your videos man…..you’re very thorough I want to bring my 19 ZL1 to you….im in NC I would like to discuss some things I want to do with my car

[@floridahighperformance]

Email me- I have a lot of vehicles come to me from out of state [e-mail] -Erik

[@lindsaybrown9298]

Here out of curiosity looking to find lid with better flow and lower intake air temps on a z06 wich seems to be an issue

[@floridahighperformance]

As you have seen, there isn't one single lid that does the trick. Rather, I think they help along with other mods like larger HX, HX expansion tanks, etc...

[@Need4SpeedVette]

Erik, great video!!

[@floridahighperformance]

Thank you

[@rollinwitjesc]

Just a quick question…. Why jokerz over Kong? Just want a better understanding between the two, thanks

[@floridahighperformance]

Jokerz will make more low end boost and torque over the kong lt4 port - both will make more peak boost and hp…I run both depending on customer needs

[@gregsutton4438]

Do you know when you're going to have the next video on the modified with the lids as im holding off purchasing until i see the results! Thanks.

[@floridahighperformance]

We are currently modding Bad Punkn as we speak. Head/Cam/Race port on 93/MS109. We will finish tuning the car, and then will replicate this test again on that car and see if we get any changes!

[@joshgessinger4509]

Awsome video funny the cheaper lid did the best i love it lol!!

[@shadowopsairman1583]

Can you feel the difference in blind testing on the road with the DSX vs the others?

[@floridahighperformance]

No

[@hoochiemama73]

Great job! Great content! DSX .....great product

[@floridahighperformance]

It sure is!

[@5harryb]

Great video, keep them videos coming. Can't wait to bring you my C7 Z06

[@floridahighperformance]

Thanks! Will do!

[@cutitshaveit]

Thank you for yoir honesty I appreciated. One question do you think with a soler throttle body and say dsx or mpi lid would have more improvement. Everything else stock except for burger filter thank you I'd appreciated when you can to respond thank you sir

[@floridahighperformance]

Probably not

[@cutitshaveit]

Thank you for response

[@JBsCars93]

Maybe I missed it, but did you say which lid you found increased blower whine the most?

[@floridahighperformance]

No discernible difference on the dyno as it’s very loud in the shop when doing pulls. A more accurate test would be out on the road…which I’ll do with bad punkn ZL1

[@marklloyd4153]

For the money you would spend on those lids with labor couldn’t you get the same maybe more for that amount by modifying the stock lid by having it polished inside ? I don’t know for sure how far you could take the polishing with the stock blower system ? I would even be curious if the idea was pushed to polishing and porting the factory heads and reinstalling ?

[@floridahighperformance]

I think people like the look of something that isn't stock...that is main reason you buy a lid...the gains are so subjective...to each their own.

[@Grumpyoldman666]

I’m assuming very similar results on a 2017 c7 z06

[@floridahighperformance]

Yes

[@NoLiftChris]

Will forsure be on a standby for the next video

[@floridahighperformance]

Thanks!

[@mjc3502]

If you ever dynoed a rotofab vs the rotofab biggulp?

[@floridahighperformance]

No but I can...

[@mjc3502]

I would love to see the difference that you get. If it's worth upgrading or not.

[@thegoat4232]

[@floridahighperformance]

[@BurstIntoFlames]

Did that stock lid still have that sound dampener piece in it? Maybe a give away of the lids you don’t keep on the car after the next video?

[@floridahighperformance]

Lid did not have the damper in it- client removed it prior to it coming to our shop….we might do a giveaway let’s see what happens!

[@918sonicsupra]

I might have missed it but did the iats improve with an aftermarket lid?

[@floridahighperformance]

Not really- 100-103* avg through the pull….next test would have to be driving out on the road

[@Trucker0308]

I had DSX lid 60mm upper 9.4 lower with a Kong Export porting on a stage 1 build, 416 stroker, Cam Rotofab big gulp and the rest and I’m telling you with that loud exhaust I still heard a good whine. Later I added methanol e85 Maggie 2650, 80mm upper same lower and I don’t hear a damn thing, but the power and efficiency that 2650 gives is second to none. Bottom line that stock 1.7 blower whether it’s ported or not will fall flat on its face after one good pull, don’t waste your money like I did buying lids and porting that little 1.7 and get a 2650, both Kong Performance and Jokers portem and if you wanna waste your money they make lids for those too.

[@floridahighperformance]

agreed

[@slamedclon18z]

[@El.Bori.Zl1]

Great video but We need part 2 😂

[@floridahighperformance]

Coming soon!

[@djrr.zl1]

have you guys ever thought of porting the stock Lid?

[@floridahighperformance]

Nothing much to remove material wise- it’s more of how the air moves up, across, and down the lid into the ports I’d say….

[@two4neto]

I have a 2023 ZL1 and cant find the dsx lid for my year on there website. Is it not compatible?

You got any more info or leads on how to go about doing something like you did? I'd definitely love to have lower IAT's on my Z.

[@utahcountypicazospage5412]

Taller isn’t better? Dsx easy choice

[@loganpenland6568]

Video is great not criticing one bit. But 100$ per hp or ftlb is steep!! Some were 200$ per ftlb whew. I think a good set of roller rocker arms would make a whole lot more bang for the buck

Def not the best bang for buck....
