Default Procharger or turbo

I have an 02 z06 with a 408 stroker an all bolt ons making just over 500 at the wheels right now. I been debating going with a p1sc procharger or one big turbo. I am aiming for 750 whp with reliability what would be the best choice?

Centrifugal blowers are great for corvettes because of the packaging. You can buy a kit that much easier to install and make power with. Turbo kits will take a lot more fabrication and work to install. Most people do a centi blower because of the ease of installation. With a 408 a p1sc is going to be pretty small. I would do at least a d1sc. Procharger also has a new D1x that seems very interesting. There are also vortecs and paxtons. Talk to a sponsor like A&A about your setup/goals and they will get you what you need.

With a 408 I'd go D1X

When it comes to picking the right head unit, you should talk to someone who really knows and I do not sorry. There are so many options and differences That I couldn't even tell you. F1a, f1a-94, d1sc, d1x and that does not even get into the other brands. Talk to a shop like A&A or even the manufacturers like Procharger.

Do a search and you will find one. It's nothing magical and many have done it.

No worries, if you can't figure it out you can always live through others.

if you go with a centri use an a&a bracket regardless of what blower you use, it's the best one out there for these cars and their customer service is also top notch

My buddy Andrew's true DD that's blown.
ET will drop a little more this season.

Congrats buddy!

Would be nice to see some more of the corvette crowd join the fun.

I'm already convinced centrifugal , probably A&A , is the way I want to go but I have a question about stroker cranks, I have never seen anything between the stock 5.7 stroke & 4.00" other than the obvious(more cubic inches with 4") is there some reason no one has ever done like a 3.75" 3.85" or somewhere in between 4.00 " Maybe it's been tried & just aint worth it ? Probably would cost just as much for anything over stock , I suppose , just wonderin'........

Primarily due to all the success with readily available 3.622" and 4.00" cranks. No reason to reinvent the wheel.

Two of the most impressive supercharged combos on here are Andrew's posted above and algZ06 also posted above.

A 408/YSi would be a nice package.
