Potential Procharger system setup question
I was wondering if someone could help. I have a 16 z06 and am considering a procharger setup to get my air inlet temps down. I currently have a btr stage 2 cam, Alky Meth kit, race cats and corsa mid pipe / extreme mufflers. if i were to go with a procharger setup at what horsepower level to the wheels will i run out of fuel (assuming 93 octane pump gas).

I would not do 1000 without altering the fuel system. I am where you are as far as build-with an F1A and was told by my tuner/ builder I need to change my fuel system. Have hot done it but plan to before an all out pull. I would be cautious and read and talk, those engines are very expensive.

My goals are to build it as much as i can with a few things in mind. I would like to keep it streetable, i like to drive it to work etc, which means the highest horsepower to where i can keep the stock fuel system or only do a low side upgrade and keep the race cats i have installed. they in the factory location so they should hold up a little more with the extra heat compared to the mid pipe location. I was hoping for around 800 / 850 wheel if possible.

If you stay on pump gas you can hit 800 with Alky. Sure. Know you're not wanting the full port injection + low side but they offer much easier to install low sides now like the one MTI offers. It wouldn't recommend it to support port injection (you really need dedicated feed/return lines for that) but it's perfect for what you need. Getting into E85 is where it gets dicey needing roughly 30% more fuel to make the same power.
