Default Simple FI question

I am not trying to flame anyone so please don't take it as so. I have been reading on the C5 board for months and just started on the C6 board. But it seems like unless I am missing something blown C6 seem to be making less HP the blown C5s is this so? If so why is that. It seems like I was told if I put a blowed on my C5 I should expect High 400s to mid 500s on most any setup. I guess I am a little confused thanks for any help

A stock C6 will make 560-600+ hp (at the motor)with a supercharger ( depends on brand). All of the stock (supercharged) C5's that I've seen have not made that much power, unless it's a C5 ZO6. Make sure you are comparing apples to apples...ex...same boost level...same supercharger....same engine mods...rear wheel hp vs engine hp etc. I could be wrong, but I have not seen equal numbers.

C6's have just a few more ponies... 20-25rwhp stock to stock with similar boost... On a bone stock C6 using tha ATI kit at 5.5psi (4.25 pulley that comes with the base kit) the cars that I have seen make right at 500-505 rwhp... And we've seen several... You should check in the C6 FI N2O section for a better idea... Good luck with your decision...
