Supercharged the Corvette
If one smiley describes it, this is it.... 
ECS Novi 1500
Tuner said car made a good amount of power for the little work done.
Mustang dyno put down 574.2 RWHP and 532.2 RWTQ. Dynojet I'm sure that's around 600RWHP.
EDIT: Basically stock motor minus blower and headers. No alki/meth, stock cam, etc. Engine has PFADT headers and the ECS Novi 1500 kit.
The car is a beast and downright terrifying on stock 285 width performance tires!!!
1st at part throttle I can get it to hook. Slow roll into second it'll sometimes hold and sometimes just spin when I crest over 5000 rpms. 3rd will hook fine.
I just picked it up yesterday and went to town having fun with it. This is how a Corvette should feel. I rode shotgun and let my friend drive it for some of the video and on one of the hits my head hit the back of the targa top from the torque hit.
This "fun driving" basically burned 1/4 tank of gas in about 80 miles.
This car should easily trap over 130mph in the 1/4mi now. Sounds ridiculous compared to the video below.
Drive just like stock until you get on it. Then it's hold on. Enjoy video and the dyno sheet.

Very nice set up, and numbers. You are now ruined for life, there is no going back 
If you get in a stock car you'll think you left the parking brake on, or lost a spark plug wire.
I keep my license, registration and insurance card together in the center console so I don't have to dig around when the inevitable happens have fun!

Awesome! This has me excited lol. I'm dropping off my car with Lethal Performance in Tx on Tuesday for its ECS install. I will be going with their blower kit, alky, and small blower cam. I already have 1 7/8 headers and a ported tb. Can't wait!

first morning in Florida it got a bit cool out. It was 59 degrees when I drove to work....
Intake air temps were 60-70 instead of my usual 100-110 (those temps I put down on Mustang dyno 575rwhp/532rwtq). Second gear at 50mph just incinerates the 285s I have out back. I had to hit it in 3rd gear and while it struggled she hooked and my oh my does it pull SOOOOOOO much harder. Felt like easy 40-50 more horsepower and torque in the seat of my pants.
Operation: Get new rims and fatter tires begins.
