What tires are you running?

What tires are you running with high horsepower builds?
May never track the car, but for the street for grip.

Thought on this build

VYMIKE — Sat, 16 May 2026 12:45:31 GMT

Hello members.
I am tossing around the idea of going with a Procharger setup along with the build I am about to do, but it will more than double the cost. I'd be into this build for $45,000.....BUT would have an insane amount of power if I go this route.
The stock bottom end is good for a max of like 650hp at the wheels. This addition would be with replacing the pistons with forged ones.
Having a hard time convincing myself to spend all of that, but I want it.
What do you guys think?
I am currently about to get the following mods:
Paid in full for this already.

I am doing the following mods to my 2014 Stingray Z51 M7:

17 GS Question

G87Tyler — Thu, 07 May 2026 22:01:13 GMT

Hey all,
looking at a supercharged 17 gs, always been into BMWs and making a change!
PO has some records but not very many, so just looking over the vehicle and stuff and noticed some stuff.
Seeing what your thoughts are and if it's normal and just needs some maintenance.
V7 YSI cant find much info on it.
41k miles, 20k since install.
Thank you!

ECS Supercharger Kit air filter options

SuzukiDan7 — Fri, 01 May 2026 23:57:17 GMT

My 2015 z51 car has an ECS Novi 1500 kit installed by ECS. It has the restrictor plate with the nameless air filter which , as I understand is designed to properly seal to the restrictor plate.

My filter is old and dirty, and I am cleaning it now. And while it seems to "get the job done" I'm noticing the filter media is a bit on the thin side for my comfort. I know thinner means more flow, but does it make sense to have a "super high flow" filter when we are using a restrictor plate anyway?

I'm curious what other filters people have found that still have the correct fitment but have a better filter media?

I've seen people talk about A&A filters, and I see we have the "attack blue" vendor on this site. But would rather hear from other owners who have some experience in this.

Also, are these washable filters from ECS (and other brands) meant to be oiled after cleaning? I assumed not but I keep finding people saying they oil their filters.

C7 Twin Turbo Burning Oil

gkhalaf13 — Sun, 26 Apr 2026 23:58:06 GMT

Whats up guys, im having an issue with my C7 GS with twin turbos and dry sump system burning oil during high rev deacceleration and getting into boost. I do have a mighty mouse catch can and it is routing as driver side valve cover and other side teed into intake manifold with pcv check valve on the can. I have a breather filter on the first port towards the front on the dry sump to a breather. If anybody can tell me the correct routing of the other lines or different plumbing style.
