Yes, he came in for a tune. It was beyond saveable without completely redoing it all for him though. So that's what we're doing now...

Manual trans. Callaway SuperCharged Corvettes are quicker by over 1/2 sec., mainly due to differences in final drive ratio and driveline losses.

A Magnacharger is good for someone who plans on staying with "bolt ons" because they'll make good instant power/torque off the line since they're designed to have low rpm efficiency. The Procharger is pretty much the opposite....

So you just need to decide what your plans are for the future of your car. If you ever plan on upgrading to bigger cam, ported heads, or a forged stroker motor, I would seriously consider the Procharger because ultimately it will make the most power and stay efficient. A Magnacharger will have a harder time keeping up with the more things you do internally to your engine.

Prochargers on street cars still work great no matter what anybody try's to say. I just did a C5 yesterday with American racing headers, LS6 cam, and a D1SC that made 546 through an automatic transmission unlocked. The customer was very happy and loves the way it drives. Then the other day we did a C6 with a C cam, American racing headers, and 5# pulley that put down 580 through the A6.

So if you're looking for fun, a Procharger is still going to be every bit as fun as a Maggie imo. The only difference is that with a Maggie will give you a little more low end punch. So while you are spinning your tires off the line from all that low end power, I'll be puting car lengths on you with my Procharger that doesn't come on until a little higher RPM

Tire frier's are fun I guess, but I like winning races more. hehe

Thats amazing. This is a question I've been wanting to ask. So the A6 tranny and IRS can handle 430rwhp with no problems? Was there any tweeking that had to be done to the A6 tranny, IRS to safely run that kind of power with NO reliability issues?

Dave putting on the Z06 rubber is cool. I have a ProCharger on mine with stock rubber. Does the Z06 rubber rub at all? What rims did you use?
