My 2017 Corvette Procharger project

After much research and planning and discussing with Dave @ EFX tuning (best tuner out there, that became a good friend)

WE ARE PROCHARGING the Corvette!!!

Thanks to Dave and his team at EFX Tuning I now have all the parts on order that are needed for this project.

the car already has Corsa X-Pipe and Corsa Xtreme exhaust.

Ordered:

-NGK step colder plugs
-Corsa 1-7/8 Long Tube Headers
-P1SC procharger kit
-160 TSTAT
-and the proper BARO harnesses

Subscribe to this thread to follow the project.

End result is going to be roughly 575-600 WHP on 93 octane

I have nothing but positive things to say about Dave and his team at EFX

He just tuned my customers 2017 Grand Sport and got 470WHP out of a few simple bolt ons

Very nice. What made you go with the P1 vs the other units? Is the safe limit with the LT1 around 600-650rwhp max?

Should be a beast.

I was planning this for a while, waiting for everything to fall into place, then bang it out fast and get it tuned so the car don't lay up long.

car is at daves @efxtuning now

was thinking about running it up across my windshield and down the side of the car thru the fender and rim.

i know I can trim it down, and either cut the cover or run it above and behind the coil plugs havent decided yet.

prob a couple of other small tweaks ill have to make when it comes back.

its so relaxing having the car at dave's lol I dont worry about it at all cause I know its in good hands !
