Procharged C7 Stingray loosing boost
Hey guys I’m new to this, but wanted to see if I am able to get a better input on this, I have a C7 stingray ECS 1500 procharger on it, built engine ported heads meth, and all car made 771hp and doing 13.7 to 14 pounds of boost. Now I have the intercooler changed to a much bigger one, and I am running in to the issue of the car only boosting 9 pounds... checked for boost leak and nothing can’t figure out what it is and the car feels a little slower like a lost a lot of power. Anyone can help me out on this. Thank you all.

I thought about going to a 2200 procharger since mine is a 1500, and maybe it could compensate for the lost of boost ? And thanks again for all the info.

Bigger isn't always better. The ECS cores are actually really good cores and don't have an issue until 1000+. If you swapped on a cheap china core, it probably is killing power even if it is bigger.

first of all. You don't have a Procharger, please stop using that word, it will confuse people trying to help you. ATI / Procharger is just a brand of centrifugal style superchargers, just like Vortech and Paxton. You have an ECS kit that uses a Paxton supercharger. What kind of intercooler did you go with and why did you change it?

It's a pain in the butt to do that...
Yeah I wonder if this is just coincidental. That was the problem with my Procharger and I looked everywhere else first.

Adjust the belt, the intercooler would not make a difference like that. Both intercoolers can out flow the 1500.

For the love of God... THANK YOU! Marketing at it's finest though, have to give them that.
