C6 Base Needs for supercharger
I have an 09 LS3 Auto Corvette . I have Texas Speed Long tune Headers And DSX flex fuel kit (E85) And it’s Tuned . It’s also Daily driven. I was looking into making the car around 650-700RWHP . I was interested in the ECS Novi 1500. I was wondering what all I would need for this build, what type of injectors ? Stall converter ? Would i neeed another fuel pump ? Wondering if anyone can put up a full list in what I would need . Also since I have the flex would I be able too run 93 and fill up E85 whenever I’m closer too one ? Or would it be best if I just stick too one like Pump Gas since E85 isn’t all around in my area

As far as I am aware there is no available DSP type set up to switch between tunes. You will have to pick your poison. ECS has only done a few thousand set ups like yours, just give them a call. I have the A&A kit which has also been unreal. You can't go wrong either way.

Question is are you looking to hit 650-700 on E85 or 93? If you do it on 93 it takes more boost...if you do it on E85 it takes more fuel system.
Start with a ECS or A&A tuner kit. You're going to want bigger injectors/fuel pump
If you want to make that power on 93 octane I'd say get a cam/torque converter
If you want to make that power on E85 you can get away without the cam and converter
Get a 1000cc injector and get the auxiliary pump upgrade from ECS or A&A
If you are trying to run E85 the same set ups should work. But, if you're looking to get to 650-700 on 93 and want to run E85 on top you'll want a 1300cc injector. On 93 you might get away with a bap but it would be borderline.

I drove down the coast to A&A and had them install and tune my base C6. The car put out 530 RWHP with a mild tune. The only other engine modification I've done is a Tony Mamo TB.
I added rear wide body fenders and 345 30 19 Nitto NT05R drag radials. I haven't had a chance to take it to Wednesday Night Drags at Sears Point and see how it'll perform. Looking forward
to that when track reopens.
I really enjoy how the car drives and the power is fantastic.

When you install the A&A Kit, what was all needed for it? Are you running headers or any cams or it’s completely stock with a blower ? and what what wide body fenders did you go with any recommendations ? PM me would love too see it
