Installing Supercharger on C7
My C7 is at Baily's Hyperformance for a Magnuson Supercharger and TSP long tube headers. Due to have the car back before Thanksgiving and can hardly wait to see how it performs. How are those with a similar set up liking the performance from their Vette? I have had several Corvettes over the years but this is the first with a supercharger so I'm not sure what to expect.

Hey brother.. My car is at Baily's right now as well. It's the torch red stingray that had all of the guts removed. I'm shooting for 13 - 14 #'s of boost on a fully forged motor.. hoping to get about 1000 crank hp. Those guys are great. Like others have said, you will love having a boosted C7. Soooo much fun! BTW, I'm in SW Fort Worth.. Not far from Arlington.

Grats! Baily's also did the work on my c7. They do excellent work. I installed the s/c and meth kit on mine and then brought it to them to install headers and tune it. It's fun and I already forgot what stock feels like.

This was my first experience with dyno testing and I was a little overwhelmed with sensory overload. LOL!!

You better bring some glue to put on those tires in this cold weather! Are they getting close to done with your car? I saw it there when I was picking up my car from there after they tuned my ecs/meth/headers.

I just called Texas Speed & Performance yesterday. The hold up is on our heads. They said it would be about another week before they can ship them back to Baily's. As far as I know, we got our block back from being honed and more or less, it's all ready to go aside from the heads. I'm not sure if the Borla exhaust has been bolted back in or not. I still have to replace the front splitter but that's a 30 minute fix.. It's sitting at my house.

I'm very happy with my results! First day I drove it home it ended up 686 whp & 601 tq. I went back about two weeks later and had them pull some timing just to be a little more on the safe side. It was about 10 degree's cooler that day and I was expecting less hp for sure. It pulled 691 LOL! That weather makes a difference!
I had them also install the gauge in my pillar. Turned out good. Here is some pics and a video I made goofing off.
