Default C5+procharger=really nice gains

C5 with a procharger, otherwise stock, no headers no nuthin. 2 bar to begin with. Had a mail order tune from a reputable tuner. Gains were pretty impressive. Ignore the A/F on the first run, our wideband was going bad, and actually had to replace it in the middle of tuning this one.
The owner is a forum member, so I expect he will post when he gets home. Hes one of our NoVa customers.
Thanks again Tony!! Enjoy!!
57 hp/46 tq peak gain, 83 hp/88 tq @ 5000 rpm gain!!
BTW, this is with 4.10 gears!!

Those are impressive numbers, I think Procharger is the way I will end up going. By the time you do all other mods necessary to get those numbers you've spent about the same money. You can yank the S/C and sell it when the time comes. How do you get that power to the ground with 4:10's?

How much does a Pro Charger cost? How much is the labor to install and set it up?
