My car was a all motor mid 600whp Car before . Some of my parts , crank , rods , intake manifold came off that setup . I guess the professionals I delt with at procharger and other shops dont know as much as you Fran.

I ran the new F1A-94 on a 434 with WCCH stage 2 heads, and ECS big blower cam, and 10.2 compression. The blower seemed out of air around 6200 rpm and 14 psi. It did make 873 rear wheel on 93+ meth. I put a slightly smaller pulley, and setup an E85 fuel system, but the car was wrecked before I could Dyno again. I know my blower was slightly smaller than an F1C, but if I had it to do over again I'd likely have gone with an F1X. I'd guess somewhere around 900 or just a touch more for your combo.

Yes yes yes 100%. Not many people know more than Fran. Can probably count them on one hand. Manufacturers, sadly are rarely the experts on their own parts.

I would have gone X without a doubt and not looked back. Ditch the nitrous.

Well it looks like Matt is going under do to some un foreseen weather disasters that ripped three Florida.
I'm looking for a tunner for my Boosted C6z. Should I take it to Fran at RPM? Matt is a bit to far. I could go to ECS as well. I don't care about how far with in reason I go as long as I don't have to go back.

Fran has my vote, I just got a short block from him and I was in constant contact with him and Bob. They were always prompt polite and no BS. great guys to work with.

I've had amazing experience with AMP and Brian there In texas and the cars they are putting out are setting records. ECS great shop imo too. I haven't had much direct experience with the other shops but they seem to have great reputation and Fran holds more records in vettes than the random dudes who work customer service at procharger for sure.

IMO.. put the f1c on the 454 .. if you want to be slow and run out of power @ 5200 rpm 
other wise.. listen to fran and people who are actually BUILDING procharged corvettes....

Can anyone find an example of a big cube 1000+hp forced induction ls car? I've never seen it. Local shop keeps pushing tall deck 470+ci builds for ysi and f1a builds. Seems stupid. Local guy said his big cube ysi car would make 1500rwhp because if a 427 can make 1200 a 460+ can make 1500. Some people just don't get it. There is a reason the fast radial ls cars and 2000+hp builds are not 454+ci.
