Default Thinking about supercharging my C7

Hey everyone, thinking about supercharging my vette. Plan on going with the eforce because of the warranty they offer. What are everyones thoughts? Rather have a roots style blower specially since it seems like you can get the eforce for slightly more than a centri. Seen the eforce for $5600 on corvettemods. Seems like a pretty good deal.

I think its a terrible idea. I supercharged my car, now I'm never home and never get anything done because I'm always out driving the damn thing. Also, I had to go to the doctor cause people kept saying my mouth was doing this weird thing where the outsides curve way up and it was making me look happy or something.

Thats a smoking deal. It has that kit listed on that site for 7000 to 8000 depending on which stage. And that states the sale price .

Here is the link but this only shows dry sump, mines a wet. hmmmm, probably still the same price.
Oh crap this is for the Z06, why is the Z06 so much cheaper?

just guessing that since it is already supercharged, and your only replacing injectors and the head unit, there is less parts included.

I'm waiting on a quote right now to have mine supercharged. Keep checking my email lol.

Nice so not sure if you asked him this, but lets say get the ecs and decide to go back to stock after a year, is there any cutting thats involved when installing? Or even better lets say something goes wrong with the car and you wanna go back to stock so you can take it to the dealer?

Well any body pieces that are cut, like for the intercooler can be bought and replaced pretty cheap. And I know that if something goes wrong, its not on GM, its on me. But that is something you will need to think about. I also already have headers.

If u do the procharger kit comes with gm parts already modified and keep your stock ones and no bending brake lines to make room for the unit...whole install didnt cut or modify anything...
U cant beat the sound of the procharger..its just crazy and turns heads everywere we go get surrounded at car shows when we pull in lmao
Took it out 3 times yesturday cant get enough lol

I have a custom tune D1 but a friend here in ct just did the p1 kit w the tuner...scanned tune was dead on what a surprise

This is why i have also considered procharger although i know ecs makes a little more power. I like that you can revert back to stock with procharger very easily which is awesome! How long have you had your car procharged?

No matter which one you go with, you will need to tune the ECM, and once you do that, even if you return everything back to stock, including the tune, they will know and may push back on warranty coverage if it seems the root cause was related to the modifications. You would need to take them to court to prove your modifications weren't the cause, to get coverage. So, mods like this carry a bit of liability for powertrain warranty coverage.

I dont think it makes any more power..D1 has same potential than the 1500 they use... in the next league big power lt4s the most powerful c7z are procharger w f series blowers
They all make about same power..depends how hard u tune it
