Default Another ZR1 with LPE 710 and American Racing Headers out of New Era, pics inside

This package is simple yet effective, 2nd time we did this in the last few months, and as usual, we are very happy with the results. I took a few pics of the car, and the dyno results as well.

I'm familiar with the 710 kit contents, I more referring to what this particular setup had over that to make it net the extra HP vs. what I've seen the 710 do, I suppose the headers and fine tuning are the answer to that question. Very good #'s indeed!

Got a question for you, after the 710 kit was installed, i notice a steady ticking or clicking sound at a steady speed of say 35 to 45 mph no load on the engine just a steady cruise. if i increase the throttle it stops or slow down it stops. can not duplicate this in the driveway. i think it is from the relief valve opening and closing. like it does not know where it should be..i was wondering if yours has this noise as well ?? thanks for your time,TOM

as high as 560 rwhp on a dynojet (could be less on a mustang dyno). This is what LPE, Edmunds, Road And Track got on a stock ZR1.

The Road and Track Video shows a stock ZR1 dyno 559 rwhp, 526 rwtq. I believe these numbers because they were done at Hennessey's place with Factory Reps present. So, no dyno games.
