Amazing Procharger
Mike @ Superchargers4Less just installed an Intercooled, Procharger C6 Kit on my 2005 MN6 ragtop. Kit comes complete and appears to be well engineered. Shoe horns in well. Ed Wright does the computer rework for Procharger and quickly returns the modified computer.
Car has LG Longtubes, high flow cats and Corsa Sports (Really loud if you ask me). DTE Strut next mod when available.
Car runs like the stock C6 until you nail it then the power is mind boggling.
Hooking up in 1st and 2nd is really difficult with stock run flat tires. Anyone have suggestions as to replacement tires, with better grip?
As soon as I get an opportunity (after Christmas) I'll have it dyno'd. I live here in SW FL, near Naples. Who's close by. When I figure out this site, I'll add some pics.

So what is the end of the story? First computer tune was too lean.... boost-a-pump solution didn't compeltely fix either (unless I read wrong). Second computer tune better but still not great....
So, does Procharger really have a C6 "kit" that has safe A/F numbers or is each owner left to trial and error different solutions?

The Boost A pump did take care of the dropping fuel pressure, but it didn't help with the lean air/fuel, which is why they sent the computer back.
All in all I'd say that you would want to double check the fuel pressure and the air/fuel when you are done. the purchase of several gauges would take care of that, if you were to install the ProCharger yourself. I'm glad we had the system installed by a professional, as we would of never known.
