Default ProCharger is adding variable launch RPM
Pretty cool feature being added to the ProCharger setup. I'm guessing this will be available for HP tuners as well in the future.


New feature being added to the ProCharger C8 supercharger systems.
- User defined launch RPM!

He removed the post. He must have jumped the gun on releasing the feature. He did show its functionality and was able to launch at 2500 RPM vs 3500RPM

This would be an HP Tuners feature. Not a Procharger's specific feature.

Why would the ECU care what power adder or modifications are done to the engine to change launch RPM?

Of course this is an ECM feature but ProCharger is not using HP Tuners. This feature was added by ProChargers tuners.

It was added by Trifecta.

Unfortunately, GM doesn’t use the term “launch control” to really define it, but I’d imagine HPT can locate the necessary tables.

I was hoping to find out this answer but he pulled the post before I could ask. Hopefully he will repost it soon, so I can ask further details.

My understanding is this is only via laptop/tuner-port. Which is cool, but not super effective for making adjustments for tire/track fine tuning on the fly like the Z06.

He said it can be controlled and adjusted to any RPM setting via steering wheel controls (I'm guessing the range is set in the ECM or TCM)

So he says there are normally two launch rpms? 1700 and 3500 rpm? I've only seen the 3500. How do you get the 1700 rpm mode?

Just press the brake pedal firmly not hard and will commence the low rpm. I did this at the track by mistake and ended up with a much higher ET.

That's counter to what I've been told. Keep us posted. ive been told its very buggy and its not adjustable outside of laptop/tuning screens.

would be exceptional if its via steering wheel controls under the performance menu.
