Is your car nitroused or boosted? Your sig says N20. The difference between a boosted car and N20 are vastly different as is the choice of cam. That and tuning is completely different.

He was asking about a supercharger or twin turbo car.

Excellent point Mpm IV ... The tune on my car done by Mike at Vengeance is spot on. I'm talking a speed density tune on a car with over 1000hp and an EBC that I can vary the boost on. My cars street manners are impeccable. Absolutely amazing job.

I would pose that question to Vengeance when your ready. Some kits give you a canned tuned that should be OK to drive on until you can let them fully tweak it. Are you buying or have you purchased an APS kit, TTi Extreme kit, etc...

About a year or so ago Vengeance bought a covered trailer and I'm sure they could come and pick it up.

Im just on a budget thats another reason im doing the work myself i can afford the parts just not the labor dont let the corvette fool you lol

What are your HP and TQ goals with the car? Turbo kits are not the easiest thing to install. I don't know your skill level but it's no where as easy as a S/C install. Whose kit did you buy?

They use that trailer to haul their own race car as well as to pick up and deliver customers cars.

700-800 at the crank or at the wheels? Are you going to keep the stick?

My car is on the bottle. I was speaking to the tuning capabilities, which is why I mentioned my cam. I have been in their shop several times over the years and have seen numerous FI setups from mild to ones that make my car look slow. I recommend them without hesitation.

I did not nor would I recommend driving it untuned. I'd find someone with a trailer or ship it and then ride up with a buddy once it was done.
