This video was recorded back in May 2022. Since then there has been a lot of development on Prochargers side with the Flashed ECU so this video shows more of a Beta system than the full potential. From our independent testing we have seen results up to 558 WHP and 482 FT Lbs of TQ. With certain modifications, that Procharger doesn't call for, there can be a loss in power due to backpressure loss. At the time of filming this Stage I kit made 525WHP and 495 FT LBS of Tq which is a result of the aftermarket headers, cats, exhaust & ECU intervention. Stage II results will be coming soon!

The kit is around 15k but you will have to add installation and tuning. Still less than a zo6 and I can tell you personally it's a lot more fun. Plus you can turn it up when ever you want.

Took delivery of the stage II C8 7.5 PSI with upgraded P1X blower running with ECU Flash from procharger. Dyno said 630 whp and 560 tq. 3 runs all the same slight drop as it warmed up. stock everything except procharger. Baseline started at 455 whp. After the install I added AWE exhaust but no dyno run after so I may have picked up a little more.

Was looking forward to the dyno. If the kit made 558 WHP then there is very little HP gained per cost considering the stock C8 is around 450 but I think we can now take advantage of the tuning solution and bump it to the 600+ range before going to stage 2.

@kurtthomas4746 Жыл бұрын

HI, I had a Procharger installed on MY C8 in early August, mostly happy with it. Stock baseline dyno was 435 and after was about 110 hp increase. Fit and finish good. My only major complaint is the transmission does not like it much. Paddle shit mode is better, but 1st to 2nd, unless you short shift it, again the transmission did not like it much. Hard to explain here, but i hope they come up with a solution to make the transmission shift better !

@ParagonPerformance Жыл бұрын

Maybe you can contact Procharger and see if you can get a flashed ECU? That may be the solution to help your issue.

We’ve installed a handful! It’s slightly more challenging on a HTC but nothing we can’t handle. Pricing starts at $21,699 for the HTC + $2000 for install. The tune that comes with the kits will have no warning lights.

Hate to say it, but out of ALL the aftermarket wings the Verus is probably the most downforce wing of all of them including stock high wing. You can see it sits higher for the non turbulent air to add downforce? The Z06/Z07 package wing is pretty suspect as well because it sits too low for OPTIMAL downforce.

@@ParagonPerformance I think the 660+whp at 7.5lbs is certainly a bit optimistic on the Stg2, but i am interested to find out. Fairly interesting that you saw a loss of power with the reduced back pressure; guess we'll see how a couple more lbs of boost interacts with the figure, i'd still put my money on wanting the reduced back pressure for peak hp and would be willing to suffer the low rpm consequences.

That wing looks really silly. And carbon fiber on parts that doesn’t actually reduce weight in any meaningful way is pointless. Also destroying the warranty for more hp that is rarely useful seems short-sighted. If you NEED more hp buy a z06.
