C6 Boost questions.
I own a 97 Cobra and am looking to upgrade to either a 03-04 cobra or a C6 corvette. I've had nothing but mustangs since I was 16 but I am considering joining the rest of the family and going with a vette. I am just getting started looking at the vette and have a couple of questions. I would plan on adding a supercharger so hopefully you guys could help me out.
1. How much HP is the C6 block capable of? How much HP are the stock internals capable of handling?
2. What is the compression of the stock C6?
I'd like to get around 500-550 RWHP and I know it's pretty easy with the Cobra. I am just seeing what it would take to get a C6 around the same power levels. Thanks

10:9 to 1, yes it is a lot but if you keep the psi at 7 to 8 you are still in the 16:1 - 18:1 static compression range.
I have owned mustangs too and I promise you if you buy the c6 you will never go back.

I just did the Procharger. Had a safe tune with a GM Tech II tuner. Laying down a little over 500 RWHP with DYnamax 17/8 headers. I was told the stock fuel system is good to 550 without changes except for the injectors Procharger gives you. That is the P1SC with 6 Lbs of boost.

My fuel pump could not keep up at top end. Installed Kenne Bell booster.
