Default C7 A2W setup we **on the dyno too!!** 1003 rwhp

air to water is nothing new, lots of people have done it on many platforms, heck my personal 1300 rwhp C5 has a custom A2W setup by us that works flawlessly. The C7 platform is one that not only has procharger got an out of the box system but other shops have built them too. This is our variation of it using a garret 1k core, prospeed trunk tank with a rule pump fed to a davis front pump. this Vehicle just made 900 rwhp through the auto, and we are going to change the pulley combo for more but with the f1a94 on a 1/4 mile pull with no ice iats rise 14 degrees is all over ambient. This system uses our proven C7Z heat exchanger that now comes with billet end's and fittings that can be easily swapped out for either oem quick connects or all the way up to -16. This paticular vehicle we did -12 all over. Any questions just let us know and if you're looking to have us custom make you something or take your current setup and make it into a consistent machine at the track than give me a shout to discuss doing this setup on your C7! This setup I have already driven the car in stop and go freeway traffic with it being 105 outside and coolant temps stay at 200-210 with the ac blasting. get moving and they drop to 190.

***Note*** we will only install this in house, we have no interest in sending this out as a "kit"




Car is on the dyno now too. Here is the setup

Wfo built short block, Lme cylinder heads, CPR spec cam, @procharger_official kit with f1a94, @circledspecialties converter, alky control meth kit, CPR low side fuel system, flex fuel kit, @american_racing_headers, @prospeedautosports oil cooler, trunk tank and fan kit, @advancedmodernperformance breather tank, CPR air to water setup, fic di injectors.

On e50 it made 1009/800 through the auto! This car will be making its way back to Iowa next week so watch out! Www.facebook.com/CordesPerformanceracing Www.cordesracing.com




This car originally came to us with a heads/cam/maggie setup from another shop with a lovely/leaking junk meth kit. Previous place told him it made 690 rwhp, in reality it made 560 on our dyno and from what he was getting at the track time wise it lined up with those numbers. No worries Mark has a setup that will kickass now and perform like it should and look killer while doing it!

Can you briefly explain how an A2W system works to keep IAT's so low, particularly when not using ice?
I'm not very familiar with these setups and have always thought for a street car that air-to-air would be a preferable setup.
Nice work, by the way.

water does a much better job of pulling heat out than air. IAT's with no ice only rise 14 degree during a pull w/ no ice. an air to air at this level would go up a lot more than that. This is a 100% street car, hence why we made everything where we did and use a heat exchanger.

They still use an air to water heat exchanger to cool the water, so it is still using the incoming air to cool off the intake charge, and then when racing, you can use ice to cool it even farther.

Just like the factory zr1, c7z, etc etc. They still have a system to keep the water cool.

Many blower people run 2 or 3 bovs. On a blower application, they are used as bypass valves, and BOVs at once. So no, a single one isn't good for 1800hp. Not even close. Anything over ~900 should probably have a second. If not you can't bypass enough air, and can toss belts, or have maf/tuning issues. Of course depends on location, and which BOV. You can get away with one huge one.
