Procharger...What can I expect??
Hey guy's, with 389 rwhp after having the stage I done by MTI, what kind of SOTP feel could I expect by adding a procharger? I know it would put me around 475-500 rwhp, but would the power feel similair to a z06? More? How is the throttle response and lag with a supercharger vs cubic inch/hp.
I know these questions sound remedial, but I am trying to decide whether to go this direction or head/cam swap............thanks

SOTP feel definitely.
Wallet drain more definitely - from spinning the tires all the time and having to replace Rear Rubber every 3-4 mos
God I love this car.

SOTP--get ready to have your head snapped back.
RWHP - I'm at 586, more than the Z06
response/lag vs stock (that is how I am intrepreting your question): stock response is great. Procharger response is much better, the SC kicks in around 3400rpm.
Which direction is a personal choice. I did my build in stages:
stage 1: Dynatech headers and Corsa Sports - RWHP/TQ 355/347
stage 2: ARF 225 heads and a blower cam - RWHP/TQ 433/391
stage 3: Procharger D1SC - RWHP/TQ 586/506
Have fun

First I went head/cam, etc Made 461rwhp/435rwtq. Had power everywhere. Now I've got a stroked L92 motor Making 525/500. It's now a 3rd&4th gear road car. I like N/A cars. There is just something about them. Had a Vortech S/C on a camaro ran great. But I prefer a N/A motor. They both work great. The only draw back with a S/C car is the stock cast pistons. Don't expect the # 7 piston to live a long life. It goes lean under boost with the LS2 manifold. It seems that it lasts longer with a FAST manifold. It balances the air better under boost. Anyway to answer your question, somewhere north of 500rwhp
