Supercharging
I have a '13 Grand Sport LS3. Thinking of going with PX1 Procharger or the A&A system. On a bone stock engine will this make enough power to run with a ZO6 and about how much RWHP? Thanks!

On a bone stock engine, will this make enough power to run with a ZO6 ......
A Z06 has 505 Net crankshaft HP ... With a 13% loss of HP through the drivetrain, the
bone stock Z06 should be making right around 440 RWHP.
So, there is your target.

A&A kit with headers is more then enough to easily handle a stock Z06 in the straights.

And a little weight difference to calculate in too.

The weight is really negligible. A LS3 car with headers and an A&A kit with safe tune should lay down roughly 550 to the wheels easily. Add 13% to that and we get over 620bhp easily. That’s a big herd of extra ponies.

You shouldn't have any problem running with a Z06 with a supercharged LS3. I have a 2013 GS M6 with kooks LT, catless y pipe, A&A kit, and an ally meth kit and my car put down 638whp and 565wtq.

Procharger P1, huge 4.63" pulley - only 4lbs boost and I'm putting down 500whp. Car is otherwise completely bone stock (no headers).

As long as you can catch traction and the Z06 is stock you should pull ahead easily.

It will lose 1-2 psi once I decide to add headers. For now, enjoying the power!

We have done lots of ProCharger and A&A kits. Honestly the fitment and finishes of the A&A are pretty dang good. Just finished tuning an LS2 C6 with A&A, Cam, Meth in an auto and it laid down 670+whp.
