More air requires more fuel. How are the fuel demands on the ProCharger kit being met? I can't imagine the 30% fuel lobe on aftermarket camshafts is sufficient for 800+rwhp...or is it?

On my friends car I run the stock cam, and (2) massive meth nozzles.

On this particular Zl1, I am sure it will get a cam and supporting fuel modifications once its back in the hands of its owner. (Vengeance Racing)
This one in the photos is actually Rons personal car. So you KNOW its going to be going BIG, like he usually does.

This is on a ZL1 so it's the LT4 fuel system and the LT4 engine has a raised fuel lobe already. I highly doubt just the lobe on an LT1 will support that HP level. I have the cam and flywheel estimated at 757hp with no fuel issues. I also wouldn't ask much more out of this fuel system.

I like it on my LT1,
How much did that add to the cost of the system? Also, are we tracking if the gains are worth it over the stock manifold or even an MSD?

You'll have to ask a dealer for pricing on the intake. (I think it's around $2000)

As for gains I don't care about them over the other intake. I went with it so I could do a direct port meth set up.

Maybe Procharger can answer the power gains or loss

I am not going to debate our intake vs others....

Starting with....we are not an intake company, and really don't want to be.
BUT, we needed something that was kick butt to go in the place of the factory blower on the LT4 cars we swap. And didn't find any other option that worked well under forced induction at the time.
So thus we are here.

Sadly it takes us SO long to make these darn things, its not really a "profit" item for us.
But they work really really well, from low HP to even well over 1,000+

Increase in power or not, I'd love to have one

The problem with using meth to compensate for an inadequate fuel system are the risks incurred. An empty methanol tank, failing pump or nozzle and your motor can run catastrophically lean.

Thanks for the information!
In time, I am sure that a reliable fuel system will be developed.

We install tons of these intakes at Vengeance. I'd say it's rare for us to do a C7 Procharger that doesn't use the intake. It works!

That's debatable, as if you calibrate to be meth dependent it would never go into the dangerous lean zone... It will be so lean, like over stoich, that the engine will not produce any power and will flat in its face and will not even accelerate.
