Default ProCharged but Otherwise Stock C6 Corvette Runs 9s All Day



Want to flirt with 8-second runs reliably? Slap a ProCharger on your C6, and that's abut it.

I would not feel comfortable about how long the engine will last without at least putting a larger gap on the rings. That extra heat caused by supercharging can cause them to bind. So saying just slap a procharger on it is not entirely accurate if you want reliability.

This car is a testament to the stoutness of the LS motors, but something has to give with the driveline soon

LOL, yes, there is always the next "weak link" in the chain.

To the OP: The link doesn't work.

I'm thinking that's about as SMooooth a run that can be laid down.....I dident see any nasty Torque changes, really pretty line down the track.....I was darn near in the car with ya..... inspirational, clean, Ballzzzeee....just to mention few descriptive words of this Vetts ability.
As far as what and when things will break.......hahahaha....of course things can and will break when your having this much fun....but I think them runs where very smooth......be proud and keep up the good work.....thanks for the THRILL.......Zappa
