I know there are some threads that have been posted about supercharger options offered by Pro-Charger and Eldebrock, but I wanted to see if others out there are considering these options. Part of me says the C7 is fast enough however I don't think this car feels like a car with a reported 0-60 time of 3.8 seconds. It appears that many testing the C7 have a hard time reaching this figure. In fact, some have difficult breaking 5 seconds but this likely can be attributed to temperature, road conditions and the skill of the driver. That being said, likely the tire technology and prefect conditions coupled with great skill have resulted in the claimed 3.8 seconds. All I know is that the chassis of this car is one of the few that can handle more power. This is evident in the fact that the standard C7 was designed by Chevrolet to easily be converted into the Z06.

I also have a SL55 AMG and love the feel of the blower motor. The torque is incredible and I am thinking that adding this feel to the C7 would be really cool. The Edelbrock solution creates a real sleeper since the blower is out of site but the HP figures of the Pro-Charger are also impressive and less expensive. Naturally, I am concerned about the warranty as if I have any engine component failures, warranty would likely be declined. So, I would be interested in other opinions and thoughts on the topic. Also, if anyone has done this, would really appreciate their opinion of the finished product.

Forced induction????? Hell yeah! Hopefully I will be getting a procharger put on Liotta April/May time frame. Hopefully sinner will have his car back soon from procharger and he can tell you how he likes it.

Procharger also offer a 5yr/100k mile warranty. I think Edelbrock offers the same one as well.

Sounds great but the bigger question is are they California compliant?

is anything that's worth having "California compliant"?

Rlovelace, did you get the updates from the TSB which provides a new GM tune? Others have reported that after the updates, their car was much more powerful. Check around on the forum here for more details.

Believe this is the TSB being referred to. As noted above, vehicles eligible and which went through this adjustment were much stronger afterwards.

That of course doesn't mean that enough is enough, for it is never enough...

Thank you, John. That was the one I had in mind.

Rlovelace, here is a thread where people reported their observations after having the update done.

I am a bit surprised by your comment that you don't think this car feels like a car with a reported 0-60 time of 3.8 sec. I have found RedHot 'seat of the pants' incredibly fast off the line compared to other cars I have owned and/or driven. I am not really concerned about the 0-60 in the grand scheme of things, but did do two runs with her in Tour, did not use launch control, and easily achieved 4.2 seconds both times. I feel I could easily have done better if I pushed her and or practiced my technique. Each to their own, I think she is fantastic just as she came from the factory.

Go test drive one of Vengeances FI builds and you wont look back. Force fed them!!

I have talked to Pro Charger and am waiting for their variable, programable system, th i1, which they have for 5th Gen Camaros and are in development now...may be available mid summer. Vary the boost from in the car hand held from 1lb to 7lb....big boost when drag racing, mid level for track days and minimal on the street. This is a very good system.

I'll be picking my car up from procharger on the 17th with the P1 blower plus a few options and I purchased the warranty as well.

I had the eforce on my mustang and either blower is amazing but have completely different pros and cons. The I1 blower is the perfect blend of both types of blowers

Can't wait to see your review when you get the car back!

Sorry for the delayed update but here it is....

I left procharger yesterday about 4pm and grabbed a bit to eat and drove the 540 miles home in some nasty weather and it cleared up about half way and the car drove completely like stock... Smooth, easy and great. They even let Eco mode on which is something I like and averaged 25.7mpg and the best 50 was 28.9.

Once the weather cleared and the roads dried I did a full roll ons and I'm really impressed with the power. The centri blower was the right choice with this car because power/torque comes on smoothly and harder and harder as RPM increases. First gear in these cars is hard to get traction and now it's impossible and second gear pulls like a train, third is like second used to be.

The rear wheel final numbers are 570hp and I'll have to look at dyno sheet for the torque but the power seems much higher then that, again I'm very impressed with the drivability.

Procharger put 500 miles on my car on the dyno and data logging to refine to tune and it shows and for those of you how will buy this kit and use prochargers tune you will be happy. They took a bit longer then we expected on my car and the kit but fit/finish is amazing and very unimpressive. I say it's unimpressive because I have the satin black blower at it looks like an alternator on the car so other then the big race filter the engine looks completely stock.... Very very sleeper!!! I did upstage to the red race BOV so the air rushing out when venting is loud and I LOVE it and the did install my ARH long tubes and while the car sounds crazy awesome it only increased power about 5 and they used kooks on a different C7 and that car lost 20hp so long tubes aren't needed on this setup.

I'll post pics later and try to post a video.


OHHHH, another great thing about PC kit is that for installation you are required to cut some on the plastic covers or liners to install the kit but rather then cut your factory pieces then supply new OEM parts that they cut for you so if you ever return the car to stock you have all you perfect factory parts.

I'll write me as I drive and going to road track Saturday.

He needs to post some photos for you because she has some pretty exterior cosmetics. She is a very good looking lady.

I finally have my cell set up to add pics.

 

[BlackC7]

Here are some pics of the Procharger I just installed. Also here is the dyno sheet. It put 600 hp and 541 tq to the rear wheels! That means it's making almost 700 hp at the crank.
