Procharger??

So, Procharger is stating they have a supercharger solution and there is space for it (barely).

https://www.procharger.com/blog/2020...pment-underway

Anyone have any "inside" information on this, thoughts, is it even feasible?

I've been saving my exhaust and header money for the procharger. It's crazy people are wasting 7-8K for headers and exhaust to gain +20HP. The procharger will be under 9K and bring 150HP with a couple sensor clamps to keep the stock ECU and clutch happy.

I have no idea where the hell the would put it. There's a reason most ME cars are TT or roots blown. There's got to be a long jack-shaft to drive it.

That's what we are doing, I'm sure they are doing the same, there is room, it's just very tight.

Will there be a difference between a coupe and HTC as far as fitment? OR not (like kits wont fit a HTC due to less space to work with)

It sounds like an easy 150 to 200 rwhp. I loved the sound of my D1SC I had on my 17 Camaro SS, that along with a 2" Tial surge valve was a mean sound for sure.

WTF....Sounds amazing.... I want a supercharger so bad for my C8. When will the Procharger be available? Hope we see it soon. I live out here in CA right by Magnuson superchargers. One of engineers said they will be doing a C8 kit. The race is on it looks like and cant wait to see what to see the numbers. Sure tuning and heat will be something they have to iron out.

I'm not familiar with the term but it's a special purpose electronic I believe that fools the factory sensor to staying in range

simple example, IAT intake air temp sensor is tricked to think it's cool to add more fuel

pooters is stooopid they believe what you tell them!
