Default FI, which way to go

I drive my 2014 C7 Z51 M7 aggressively. Hit the rev limiter every now and then... Been told that Pro charger gives 80% of torque at 4500 RPM and Edelbrock EForce gives 80% torque at 2500 RPM. Am a huge believer in torque down low, but a hit up high is real nice!

Anyone have a graph for comparision purposes for 2014/2015 M7's, one with a procharger and the other with the edelbrock?

Ok, so with headers it looks good. 80% of torque hits at ~ 4300 rpm. 80% of HP hits at 3300 rpm.

Anyone have a dyno sheet for a C7 Z51 M7 with an Edelbrock EForce and headers?

I just noticed - 8psi for this dyno result. I want to compare apples to apples. It is my impression that the Edelbrock EForce with the standard pulley is at 6 psi???

I want to see an identical comparison between two very different superchargers. If everything is as I have been told, I fully expect to see the Edelbrock EForce to have much higher torque and HP down low, and to lose to the Procharger on top end.

I am trying to decide on which one to buy for my vette...

You are correct in your thinking. You need to decide where you want to make your power. PD Blowers make LOTS more power at 2,000-3,500 rpm. If you want to wind it up everytime to get into the power then go Centri but if you want power all the time then go PD. Feel free to call me anytime and we can discuss the numerous options available.

All the best,

Not a direct comparison but the lt4 blower that was on the car prior to mine made 702rwhp and 698rwtq on 11psi... Made around 650rwtq at 2500rpms

I do like the sounds of a bypass/BOV venting to the atmosphere... But I personally get tired of it on a street car
