Default Beginner doubt

Hello,I live in Spain and I have a stock 2006 (2007 model) corvette Z06 usa model. I want to buy a procharger, but i have some doubts:
I want one no aggressive. I think 4.5 psi ProCharger P-1SC-1,
would be ok (only street use). If i use 4.5 psi, do i need to tune the car?( here is difficult to tune this car), or is possible run it without tune? . Is the kit all i need included?.
Or i must buy Edelbrock?
please help, i don´t have idea about it.
thanks.

It must be tuned due to positive pressure in the intake system. Maybe you can get someone to remove tune. I would check with A&A corvette and see what they have to offer.

You can get the 4.5 psi procharger kit and it comes with a programer for the tune, but a real dyno tune would be better or search on here for someone to tune it remotely.

If you don't have knowlege of how these things work....and don't have easy access to someone who does, you're asking for lots of aggrivation by adding a blower to your Z. A C6Z is a pretty damn fun ride as is. Why not add some simple bolt ons and a mail order tune? That and possibly a mild cam can get you well over 500 rwhp.

ok, I have knowlege of the z06, but here the aftermarket compressors are not common, unfortunately.
I would check with A.A .
thanks.
