Default How much RWHP???

Does anyone know how much RWHP a C7 Z51 gets just from the A&A supercharger alone? Or a procharger? Thinking about doing 1 of those kits thx..

I don't have a "Z51" but my car made 581 to the tires with just an A&A kit with 7psi boost. No headers, meth, cam... Just S/C!

M7 or A8?

Not familiar with the A&A kit but with the ECS (Paxton) kit can make up to 700 RWHP on 10-10.5 lbs of boost. If you pully it down, up to 900 RWHP is possible with the ECS Novi.1500.

If you're not running Methanol or racing fuel, you'll want to keep the 7 lb restrictor plate and 550-600 RWHP is about what you can expect and probably "safe" if the tune is good.

Over 700 RWHP and you really need to think seriously about fuel pump and piston/rod replacement if you want safety. The pistons tend to be a weak link when pushing over 700.

My setups all done by Andy at A&A

M7 14 Stingray with an A&A kit alone & 91 octane = 608 RWHP.
A8 15 Z06 with Haltech CAI = 580 RWHP.

I had about 10,000 miles on my car with a supercharger and meth kit. With just a supercharger on any of the kits you will be looking between 570 to 600 RWHP depending on location temperature humidity elevation etc.

Actually, my car is at LMR getting a new cam, catch can, headers, and more boost this week. I had around 1,000-1,200 miles on just the blower setup.

Oh nice!

I always hear everyone say that blowers kill cats and I was curious if anyone had that issue on a C7 so far. I doubt 1200 miles is enough to cause a problem unless you did a lot of top end pulls.

To my knowledge, only a few cases of blower cars having cat issues. Most everyone is going with a catless x-pipe. I'm running race cats with my new headers, so we'll see if they live?!?!?

All depends on a few things, we can help answer any questions in regards to doing forced induction on your C7 sir. Feel free to pull from our extensive knowledge base on these cars If you can post up what other mods your thinking of doing w/ it, if your a manual, A6, or A8, and where you live and what gas you have available to you. 91 or 93.
