Default ProCharger conversion

I know this is on a ZL1 and not a Z06, but very interesting write up anyway - 851 at the wheels - that should get some attention!

Looks funny with the intake all the way back there

A lot of C7s have done the Procharger swap. 850 is about the norm, and in the quarter mile would put you around the same times as a full Z.

I just dont get why besides making more power on top! The 1.7 blower is sure small but it makes **** tons of torque down low!! Going centri take that away!!

I wonder how well the setup breathes with the location of the intake. Those Procharger setups sure are nice!

You have a higher ceiling... That's why, after around 750whp that blower is well beyond its limits.

I wanted my power shifted up I didn't want more torque down low for track use I am set up for. I have 1000 wheel horse on tap but also controlled by a 46mm wastegate which the CR Fueler Holley system can pull boost out of my F1A-94 to give me boost by gear/speed or even just reduce power up top for road course use. Stock supercharger won't remotely get close to a 1000 wheel and not even 800 as efficiently. The power curve of mine on the street is just a blast to drive.

I have a 1000whp procharger f1a-94 and have gone 8.92 at 157mph in the 1/4 mile and pulled a 1.29 60ft. I also won at slipstream roll racing event for the fastest RWD class. The car is an absolute beast and with the 8 speed auto I can take off at high rpm in 2nd gear on a 50-60mph roll and be on full boost. You cannot even compare a stock blower zo6 to a prochargerd zo6 set up the right way.

Is that with the stock stall?
