Hopefully I'll have a new spot on here soon... curious to see if my fuel system was a part of me not making a good deal of HP.

Shop brought in a 5th gen Camaro with similar mods and comparable S/C which put out 720whp.

I'll edit this with my new setup hopefully by next week. (Fingers crossed)

What do you guys think of a pro charger? I have an 08 Ls3 Z51 with 36800 miles on it. Should i get the S/C before i get to any milage? its an A6 and bone stock right now. Its is my daily driver right now. Any addvice would be great. I want to make sure I get reliability out of my Vette and not hurt it.

Is the 402 boosted or na? Which setup do you like better?

The 402 is running the same eforce. Now at 780rwhp and no problems to date. I like the added power of the new setup and not worrying as much about engine failure.
