link doesnt work many shops have already proven that the factory eaton on the Zr1’s are maxed out before they are even close to redline and they start to suffocate and heat soak the motor… When TT kits and bigger blowers start to come out for the Zr1…they will handle ungodly power. ---

whys it called a 705hp kit if its only making 580?? thats shit. Performance shops were getting 580rwhp out of them from a intake and dyno tune…thats it. for example…the vette doctors got nearly 600rwhp out of a tune and headers… [http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/dynamometer-results-comparisons/996594-more-zr1-dyno-numbers-efilive-tune-arh-headers.html](http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/dynamometer-results-comparisons/996594-more-zr1-dyno-numbers-efilive-tune-arh-headers.html) bone stock with a little timing adjustments… [http://www.fquick.com/blog/Corvette\_ZR1\_gets\_its\_turn\_on\_the\_dyno/2263](http://www.fquick.com/blog/Corvette_ZR1_gets_its_turn_on_the_dyno/2263) Hennessey sucks if they are really getting those shitty numbers with a tune,headers and pully upgrade. ---

So little is known about the limitation of a stock zr1 to make that call yet. you guys will never understand…YOU CAN’T COMPARE DYNO NUMBERS!!! Saying Hennessey sucks cause it didn’t hit 600rwhp when some other a-holes did by adding less mods is so fucking stupid. Hennessey could adjust the settings on rip a 700rwhp pull if they wanted to.
