Corvette LS9 Power Package for C6 ZR1

December 1st, 2009 3 comments

You may think it would be hard to improve on the very potent ZR1 Corvette since it comes from GM with 638 hp, but it is possible. The Corvette engineers did a fantastic job of bringing us an awesome car, but they also gave us something capable of more. The Zip Corvette ZR1 Corvette LS9 Power Package brings together our exclusive set of Kooks R-Series stepped headers and high flow stainless steel converters backed by a Corsa Sport exhaust system to give the ZR1 Corvette some authority out on the road. Along with a supercharger pulley upgrade kit, Mamba fresh air scoop, Zip performance shielded spark plug wires to keep the heat off, and some calibration changes in the PCM; this performance package will turn your ZR1 Corvette into a 700 horsepower beast. You will also notice quicker acceleration thanks to an additional 5lbs. of boost and free breathing on the exhaust side.

Check out each performance Corvette Part included in our ZR1 Corvette LS9 Power Package:

These Hi-Performance spark plug wires are built to Zip’s standards, built specifically for Corvettes with headers.

This will be the last set of wires you will ever have to replace from getting burned by a header or just plain wearing out. These C6 Corvette spark plug wires are the perfect compliment to the Kooks Stepped Headers also included in this LS9 power package.

Take a look at a couple of our before and after dyno runs of a customers ZR1 Corvette with our LS9 power package installed. As you can see in the graph the ZR1 Corvette was producing 429 rear wheel horsepower and 410 ft-lbs. of torque at 5500 rpm (red). After installation of our ZR1 Corvette Power Package the ZR1 produced 534 rear wheel horsepower and 510 ft-lbs. of torque at the same 5500 rpm (blue). That’s an improvement of over 100 horsepower and 100 ft-lbs. of torque on a stock ZR1 Corvette. Not only did this ZR1 produce greater numbers but it sounded like a pure race car with the C6 Corsa Exhaust System, Kooks Headers, and Kooks Mid Section. So if you thought adding to your ZR1 Corvette was impossible you may want to think again. Our power package will make any stock ZR1 accelerate faster and produce approximately100 more horsepower to the rear wheels.
