The kit includes a canned tune, just plug in and install. you have to use their tune if you want them to keep the vehicles warranty.

I wouldn't recommend a Pro Charger to anyone buying a new car.

whats wrong with the procharger?

Nitrous is cheap power for sure, but it's not there all the time. It's also illegal to be in the car around here on the street. Did I mention it's cheap? LOL I'm actually looking at adding it to my supercharged Challenger for a bit "more" as it never seems to be enough.

I've personally never liked E85. Seen too many problems, but it's cheap high octane fuel for sure.

Good to know, saves a few bucks if the tune is on point. I'm headed to read your thread now.

The ones I've seen have been noisey and blow intake tubes off left and right.

I consider my E-Force a perfect "driving experience enhancer".

Oh, BTW, go check my AFR curve in my E-Force post. The local tuner thought it was spot on for a FI LT1 due to direct injection.

Yeah, from my perspective at least you're thinking the same way I am. I'm tempted from time to time bump things up to the next level, but why take on the added risks if everything is perfect? I agree with what you're doing...leave it alone for a while and enjoy it for the summer. I'd grab some bigger wheels and tires so you're running on the same setup as the new ZL1 but that's it.

The only other thing I'm doing engine wise is installing a new K&N drop in filter. They just came out for the SS and it should help the car breathe a little better and I can clean it as often as I want...no more buying paper filters over and over. I think this might be more important for us with superchargers since our air box is sucking in air like a vacuum cleaner.

Oh and I just saw an email from my Forgeline vendor. My bigger wheels were being QC checked after coming back from getting their custom finish applied and one of them has a small chunk missing on the inside edge. They said they could touch it up and it wouldn't be visible, but I told them no way. I'd get killed when I comes time to sell them...looks a few more weeks or waiting before I can mount my Pilot Super Sports

On the surface they do what they say they'll do and for less money than a supercharger. However, I'll just sum it with, "you get what you pay for".

so reliability it a must - and it's gotta be able to handle heat. It was 96 degrees the other day at thunderhill.

Good luck with reliability of a daily driver you take to the track often.
