Let's Dyno and Tune the Camaro ZL1 1LE

[@TORQToolbox]

There's a TYPO at 3:44 I meant to type 625 not 656 for the torque

[@nothanks9795]

This is going to be great. Getting the baseline numbers before jumping into the build is genius! What better way to chart the journey?!? Can’t wait for the next video!

[@utini11]

Maybe run a quarter mile with th Dragy? probably could see the power difference that way by your trap speed.

[@shimshonbendan8730]

You got your priorities right-guns and ZL1 1LE Camaros. Two of my favorites. Glad I own both.

[@chrono7285]

My subscription didn't update me about this video..IDK why I am surprised though. Can't wait to see you build this car up!

[@Lil_Red_FA5]

Sounds amazing brother glad you’re still doing this to the cars 🚗

[@wasdishowiplay]

Auto play, played this and woke me up. Makes a good alarm that. Can't wait to see what they'll do on a track if you ever do. I think time attack would be neat it's a lot like uspsa but with cars

[@joshuacole659]

Just soundddssss sooooooo gooooddddd

[@nuffdoggiggey4103]

Love your car. I have a 1SS, which is cheaper on gas as a daily driver, just as fun unless you come along, lol. Enjoy, brother.

[@alonsoarellanocarryoptics]

Awesome! Guns and cars!! My SS was totalled 3 weeks ago ..... now in the market for a 2019 Zl1!! 😎

[@nuffdoggiggey4103]

Guns to cars, long time no see.

[@timothybracken1728]

Sick car man, great choice :) !!!!

[@ricktotz4078]

You can do a hell of a lot better go to Mustang

[@darrellwiegand7926]

Love the camero!

[@gregfair1749]

Nice ZL1 1LE!!!! Get a buddy here in Missoula that has one it’s modified and insane!

[@snooka2484]

Kinda late to the party. Cool videos man. Definitely subscribing! 🤙 I gotta get me that dragy device/app. I also upload my 0-60s but have no clue what the times are. I'd guess around same as yours.

[@ko197728]

Jack of all trades I know you from your other platform but I didn’t know about this one Great minds think a like trying to find myself a 2023 Manual zl1 looks like I’m going to have to travel to get her Still being patient

[@AutoAddictUSA]

killing It !!

[@ctrfk8740]

👍FK8 PRL TURBO UPGRADE

[@giannicamello6673]

Try a baseline roll (60-130 or 30-80) or whatever you are comfortable with. That’s a more consistent way to see improvement. trying 0-60 with your current tire set up is never going to be consistent, there’s just too many variables (Torque management, traction control, tire spin). Or run that beast to the 1/8th and compare trap speed!

[@dronechaserzl1]

If you wanna get into the 3’s consistently, drop rear tire pressures to 26, traction control off, track mode, quick burnout with smoke to put heat and sticky in the tires then stomp and let it shift.👍

[@ThePewski]

I love that car! So freaking cool!

[@blainer69]

I would have liked if you tried the launch mode as one of your tests. Even though you said you have heard it’s sucked. But good info there.

[@joshuacole659]

Also the video is top notch 👌

[@dgtlninja]

Suspension is too stiff on track mode. Need to run it in sport mode traction control off with the tires heated and lowered PSI. 10-12 PSI is what I usually run at. Also try 60-130 runs. Its more of a true gauge on performance. Takes traction out of the mix

[@CQBCARMINE44]

I’ve found the cars launch the best on tour mode, with the suspension on track mode.

[@EndofDays213]

Oh dude you’re into cars too? Lol dope shit we have in common Lolol I’m thinking of getting a ZL1 1LE too

[@Sleepy_spartan717]

I feel like 5th or 6th gear on these is the gear to do dyno pulls in since one of them is closest to 1:1 ratio.

[@AZIROC]

Love this series. Im also in the Phx area and have a '18 ZL1 (stock minus a roto/s-type). I do have a question though, any reason you chose Vivid for your tune vs other shops (like cordes)? Looking forward to more videos!

[@TORQToolbox]

Vivid Racing wanted to use my car to develop some tunes for them to sell. Cordes is awesome, but Vivid allowed me to do the Dyno for no charge.

[@AZIROC]

@@TORQToolbox I can't argue the cost of free. Hopefully they are discounting the cost of the tunes if they are using your car as a test mule. Ill be curious of the gains with headers (I was going to go with the same CSP as you did). Past that, im just torn on upper or lower pulley and suspension. My biggest thing is I want to keep some kind of reliability, don't need/want a 1000hp car.

[@ashwortharmory5190]

@@TORQToolbox Hey, my name is Bryan. I came across this channel from your gun channel. I'm actually the shop manager over at Cordes Performance(I do gun stuff on the side) sounds like vivid is taking care of you but if you ever need anything or have questions give me a call 👍

[@ASFSnugglyPuffs]

60-130!

[@Zle_blacklightning]

So you got tuned with hp Tuners stock?

[@2muchBoost_]

Did you try warming up the tires before you did the 0-60? That should help a lot...even though I didn`t do it when I was trying my 0-60

[@smokeyb2155]

Jon, couldnt you buy octane booster bottles like by the case to put one in the tank each fill up since you only have 93 out there?

[@TORQToolbox]

I could, but they leave a strange residue in the engine

[@jeelu666]

would b nice to have some more videos of zl1, does zl1 comes with adaptive headlights?

[@AllIsWell_22]

How is the ZLE doing? Haven’t seen any content lately!

[@lyleingram5391]

On the dyno where were the gains made? Just wondering if it was more on the big end 🤔

[@felixalvinreyes9846]

I like it wish I own one I have Camaros miniature hot wheels collection

[@chriscrawford2197]

Need to use dyno sauce!!

[@TTorres1183]

I need a ride!

[@unfussylobster]

Type r question, whats your gas consumption like after all the mods?

[@robertlogan2453]

Chevy has listed that it makes 650hp stock from factory??.

[@Omega_TTRS]

There’s a difference between BHP (brake horsepower) and WHP (wheel horsepower). Chevy rates the car at 650bhp. The dyno reads what the car is putting to the ground through the entire drivetrain; which is the WHP number. There’s completely different testing standards to obtain the BHP number.

[@AnkhsZL1]

I do better numbers in my ZL1 with Traction Control off. You have to learn your car so you can get the most out of it. I take off in 2nd gear 3.97. And I'm stock

[@wervenom3513]

How’s the suspension on the 1LE? Is it to stiff to daily? Many of the automotive talking heads say it is, but other cars they say the same about didn’t seem to bad to me.

[@mrjjthor]

This is a late reply but maybe it'll help others who reads this. The suspension is very stiff and bumpy. It's not too bad after switching to Michelin tires but overall if your area has bad roads you will be bouncing everywhere in the zl1 1le. On the freeway it's pretty comfortable. I've driven the my z1le for a 1500 mile round trip and had a blast. IMO only a few are able to daily this this vehicle but I'd say most people won't. I sometimes get headaches after driving the car for a while but I'm guessing that's from my bad neck. Even though the z1le is bumpy the driving experience is so rewarding. It gets my adrenaline rushing each time I take the car out where I don't dealing with the headaches every now and then. Before I bought my z1le I owned a 17 ZL1. The car still handles great but the z1le takes it to a whole new level of fun. Speed wise its gonna be similar.

[@Zle_blacklightning]

Thas the problem bro. You will get faster times in sport mode and traction off only! EASILY

[@camirocz]

Drag radials ,traction off and hello low 3 seconds 0 to 60

[@300zxdriver]

Not true about the C8 corvette not being able to go over a certain rpm before break in miles. Many KZbin videos out there disprove this. Street speed 717 took his to the real redline day one. Just the display changes, doesn’t stop you from reviving past 4500 etc.

[@TORQToolbox]

oh ok good to know man...I guess the article I read from Chevrolet that stated that the torque was limited for the first 500 miles was false?

[@300zxdriver]

@@TORQToolbox I didn’t say anything about torque being limited or not. But I will say I’ve seen big tuners dyno C8s before 1000 mile break in and get the same hp numbers. 🤷🏻‍♂️ no hate love your type R.

[@camirocz]

Go to a bloody track to get your 0 to 60 mph .They put glue on the track and you ll see low 3 seconds for sure.

[@USDM2JZ3OO]
