C8 ZR1 / ZR1X Engine

Running an LT7 hard, whether on track or at the strip, puts more heat through the oil and coolant than a street-driven Stingray ever sees. Upgraded oil coolers, catch cans, and turbo-specific hardware exist to keep that heat in check so the engine holds its factory-rated power lap after lap instead of pulling timing to protect itself. These are the parts that let a Corvette ZR1 keep making its full 1,064 horsepower when it matters.

Paragon's engine catalog for the Corvette ZR1 and ZR1X is built around the LT7's twin-turbo layout specifically, not adapted from naturally aspirated Stingray or Z06 parts. That includes cooling components, turbo hardware, and the fittings and lines the factory system depends on. Every part is chosen with this engine's boost pressure and heat output in mind, so an owner isn't installing something meant for a very different motor.

Paragon's in-house team works on the LT7 platform directly, installing and testing engine parts on shop cars before they're sold to customers. That means fitment and real-world durability are checked against an actual twin-turbo Corvette, not just a parts catalog. Every engine upgrade here comes with that firsthand experience behind it.
