With all that power how hard is it to get a fast launch on the street? Are you always struggling to keep traction or is it pretty easy to learn the limits?

Yep. You can see the torque and power curves speak for themselves. That is primarily because with the Maggie, I step on the throttle and the boost goes to 12psi from start to finish. With the Procharger, you romp it and it starts at 4psi and builds it peaking at 13psi. As you can see, power under the curve isn’t even close until 6kRPM’s and beyond.
For the other question about traction, that’s gonna take some getting used to it. I would say that’s probably kind of individual based on how you drive. For me, 550whp-600whp is kind of the sweet spot for traction on street. That is also about the limit of your stock fuel system. To go further on the vert, it will take some planning (cam, fuel, LT headers, etc).
You get the Maggie, run 7psi and bam, you are gonna be in that 600whp neighborhood with nothing else. You figure with that setup you are running slightly more power than the stock ZL1 but with a very similar setup...so Street tires are manageable. With the automatic, I had a blast, manually shifting to 2nd get to about 40mph and hammer it. It would break loose a little and then it would hook and gone. Completely fun and manageable and no problem with fast starts or roll runs...(you will still need some practice to learn to drive your sled).
