I've heard of a few people that bought Pro Chargers, but I haven't heard much from them once their parts arrived. Maybe they're out enjoying their cars, or maybe there's more to their stories than we know...I really don't know.

All I can do is speak to what I've done with my car, which I drive every day. I'm running on 6psi and could go slightly higher on pump gas, but I don't need to. When I first modded my SS, I had the car dyno tested with just the American Racing full long tube system and I gained almost 20rwhp. Then add the Maggie (and a professional tune), which is so efficient that at its stock level of 6, I'm putting down basically the same power as the new ZL1 (estimated by adding 15-20% to rwhp for hp at the crank) . You have to remember, this is a completely new ECU. We don't have the same engine control module as the C7. Eventually people are going to figure out how to do the same things that are being done on the Z06 to improve fuel delivery. It's just very early in the game right now.

The thing is for me personally - even if I could go higher - I wouldn't. There are other mechanical differences between the ZL1, Z06 and the SS beyond just a boosted LT1 engine. Once you approach 130mph, you also start to notice the aerodynamic limitations we have vs. the C7. I don't drive at that speed, but can get there and beyond in the blink of an eye. I'm very happy with where my car is right now. It's a beast and it sounds incredible. I've gotten all the meat left on the bone without having to worry about snapping the bone. So far I've put about 2k miles on it since adding my mods and I haven't had any codes or mechanical issues. I'd like to keep it that way

I thought I had read about that in another thread here in the FI section. Really I was just curious how the N/A Camaro's were doing in regards to forced induction. Id like to learn what else is out there, i've been out of the car game for a hot minute and just recently last year I got back in. Its hard to believe now how these motors perform and how much power they make stock, let alone adding in a little boost.

I'm sure once there's more time on the ECU on these cars they'll start to wake up even more.
