Default C7 blower

I found this interesting. http://www.caranddriver.com/news/201...ost-gauge-news. The general must not be reading these pages. It doesn't look like the icon of a centri blower on the C7's dash. He must not know how superior "other" forms of forced induction are compared to Roots blowers. Bunch of dumba$$es

I wondered why we didn't see more of that on the C6 ZR1. Centri's and turbo's. Lots of talk, but not many folks bit the bullet and made the swap. I always thought an easier route to some good power would be upping the compression ratio up to 11:1 ish with the TVS. Probably not 850+ at the wheels, but an easy 750 anyway. Not crazy power, but would make a killer street combo.

Most people that have them just have one to say they have one.

I agrees motherhead! It's would be great to see what a Centrifugal SCed ZR1 would be like. Or someone could bolt a bigger PD SC to it and start really pushing it.
