Default Supercharged Grand Sport

Mr Barger had his eye on a 2010 Grand Sport at his local dealer. So he did what any good son would do, he gave his 2008 yellow C6 with an MTI Racing Stage 1 Engine upgrade to his dad. That's awesome. Talk about keeping it in the family. He had his Grand Sport a whopping 2 months before the long tube headers and Magnacharger TVS2300 supercharger were on the car.

The 2010 Grand Sport with the LS3 engine makes approximately 350rwhp and begs to be supercharged. The Magnacharger TVS2300 is the obvious choice. Quote from Mr Barger "When I am driving the car around town you would never know the supercharger is there until I mash the gas, I just got 28 mpg on a 200 mile road trip".This speaks volumes about the efficiency of the Magnachargers Corvette systems.

With the addition of the Magnacharger, header system, and boost upgrade with MTI tuning the Grand Sport now pumps out 551rwhp. Did I mention this is an automatic transmission Grand Sport?

Stainless Steel Long Tube Headers
Boost Upgrade
Larger Fuel Injectors
MTI Tuning
HiTech-MTI Extractor Hood

With the upgrades listed above Mr Bargers Grand Sport is an awesome street machine.




HiTech/MTI Racing Carbon Fiber Extractor hood. These hoods look awesome with the extractor vents clear coated and the rest of the hood painted body color.


We also installed a 2 gauge pillar with Auto Meter boost and air fuel ratio guages to monitor the engine.

Grand Sport LS3 with a blower is the way to go. A friend has a GS with the Maggie TVS2300, cam & long tubes tuned for 91 octane. With 6-6.5 psi boost he saw 564 RWHP and with 7.5 pounds, 603 RWHP.

I bet Mr Barger has a grin on his face every time he nails it, and every time he puts gas in it. The Best of both worlds.
