Do you by chance have the part number for it?
The MAP sensor is a direct replacement of the stock one.

To read boost it's just the DashLogic that plugs into your OBD2 port.

PM Matt at Florida Speed & Power they did my work.

I had a 269 mile trip back home from the shop and averaged 23 MPG. I probably averaged 80MPH the whole way. I decided against a cam because I petty much use my Z06 as my summer car unless it is raining. I also went with the Akrapovic exhaust. It sounds badass now also. If you have any questions let me know. Oh I did have to put a fuel system on also. I had some problems with the Boosta pump and got tired of pissing with it so I got rid of it..
So i bought this 2004 C5 Z06 with all the goodies. I dont know what size cam is in it though. The shop that i ran my dyno with told me a mild cam.
I told him i want to install a procharger, he said get a blower cam, Whats wrong with the cam i got?? Im not trying to run big boost. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I seriously think something is wrong with my car after seeing that, lol. Holy ****.


(running stock headers probably isn't helping me any)

Default Stock ls6

When I had my stock ls6 w/d1sc procharger, the engine was completely stock with the stock maf and it literally idled/drove like a new Vette. 10 psi made 622rwhp and basically felt like a stock car with way more power.
Wow! That's like 25 HP per pound of boost. I should be close to 700 HP with all the work done to my Z LOL
