Love the GA1s. I have them on my CTS V and just did a set of a CRM C7 in FL. I worked with Forgeline to spec their first c7 drag pack. 18"! If I were on the street I'd do the 19/20" with toyo r888s but for dedicated wheels, these have a ton of meat with 325mm 28" tall tires. I'm hoping for wheelies lololol

Josh, I assume that you folks can also tune JUST on 91 octane fuel WITHOUT TORCO; and if the customer so desires, they can use TORCO as a precautionary measure, versus you all tuning WITH the TORCO, correct?

vegasredz062

thanks Josh ! car runs good bud

Josh@AandASuperchargers

Yes of course. Most of the vettes we tune we only use pump 91 while tuning. Then guys will keep a case of Torco for track days to pour in when running it really hard.

Awesome. I may be paying a visit to you guys in a few months after I put some break-in miles on my 15 that is due to arrive late this month or September. Safety and reliability are my main goals. I want a conservative tune on 91 octane (with NO TORCO) at 7 - 8 pounds of boost with the 3.8 pulley size. Since I only drive around 1 - to 3000 miles per year, I may just add 1 32-ounce can of TORCO to every gas tank for safety reasons.

Im unfamiliar with Torco; what is the rational/relationship between its supplementation in the fuel system and safety (particular with F/I systems)?

Translator

Theoretically, it increases the octane of the fuel. It is an added safety measure in the event that you get a bad tank of gas, etc... Hence, it offers an added safety measure to prevent detonation/pinging/knock retard, which is bad for an engine; especially for one that is boosted.

spaceaholic

So for those of us running (or about to run) Meth, non-applicable ?

Translator

Correct, no need to run TORCO, if you are running meth; which is a better permanent solution with added benefits that not even TORCO can provide.

RGT

Translator. I am surprised that you aren't going to get the ZO6.

When they are released in the near future will not be good timing in my mind; just like when the C7's were first released. Later on, when GM allows special purchasing plans, then I may consider one.

Congrats on the build. Shoot me a PM if you guys head to the track this month

So realistically, If I installed one of the novi1500 kits ( pro charger, ecs, or a&a) in an automatic c7 with 7psi boost, where should my HP be? I had one of these kits installed and am slightly disappointed with the dyno numbers. Actually, I am very disappointed. I read many forum threads from all the Corvette forums out there and basically saw numbers between 530-550whp on the auto c7. I had my kit installed by a reputable shop and paid for a dyno tune. After it was all said and done, The car only made 497whp on 93 octane tune. 497tq as well. They installed the smaller 7psi restricter plate and didn't ask me if I wanted the larger 8psi plate in. After I respectfully mentioned my disappointment they offered to install the 8 psi plate, at a later date by appointment. I live in Peoria IL. They are in Chicago. Its almost 3 hrs away so not an easy trip to make. I have consulted with the maker of the kit and they said their c7 auto made 540. Turns out they didn't do a preinstall dyno run either so who knows what the stock numbers were. I am the first to admit that I had high expectations of this sc kit, too high?

TurrizT

My a&a kit put down 590 rwhp in a manual c7 z51.

spaceaholic

On 91 or 93? What other mods in the vehicle? Also can you post your dyno results?

I am only making 520 max with LT Headers and Meth....

TurrizT

I'm running 93 octane and long tube headers. No cats.

spaceaholic

Ok...here's my chart....one run at 540 but the majority well below that..not what I was expecting from the AA kit..particularly with the Alki-Control installed...dont think enough boost is being produced to trigger the Meth..
