I dropped by about 6 weeks ago and asked for some references on C5's with S/C that you dyno tuned. I did not get any references. I am close to getting the car off the jacks and get a dyno tune. Could you please send me some references I could talk to. Also, how long a wait do I have now for getting a dyno tune?? I plan to have a permanant WB02 sensor on the car.

Thanks,
Robi

There was a guy around here that had the Procharger on his car and then the FAST intake running the stock boost (5 or 6 lbs or something) and he ran 12.2's or 12.4's at Bandimere and I think he had stock exhaust.

I don't have an example, if you search under procharger, some people don't really like the noise and that it doesn't perform to what they advertise.

Well, its all done and tuned by Dragon Racing - Pete.
FYI: A&A P1SC, 42# injectors, racetronix FP, methanol injection.

530HP, 490ft-lb at RW, and Pete told me this is sea level numbers. Pete was a little impressed, but not overly since he does 1000HP dragsters and such. (maybe just being nice)

Yes, it is louder - at idle you hear a whistle and some more mechanical rattle, but not bad...at least my wife didn't storm off into the house when she first heard it, she just said, is the car OK its whistling. Side benefit is that people who know cars will ask you if you car is S/C because they hear the whistle. At full throttle, its loud (I was at the dyno on the last pulls). I have BB headers, x pipe and corsa indy exhaust....I love the sound, like a race car.

Driving is wonderful, keep your foot out of it and its just like it was, but stomp on it and hang on. Getting traction is now the issue, but if it were to get hooked up I would be afraid of breaking axles, tranny or something else.

I think this system works quite well, is not that loud (except for full throttle) and I am having one heck of time with it.
