C8 Corvette Stingray + ProCharger = Z06 Slayer? DYNO TESTED!

Hey guys, it's Jordan with National Speed, today we're showing you how to get a 670 horsepower C8 without paying the Z06 markup. Now I'm sure everyone watching this video remembers that when the rumored mid-engine Corvette and the community's collective wheels were finally confirmed. I started looking at all the performance possibilities, but then a big hurdle: the new global BECU was deemed unbreakable and no matter what crappy hardware you installed, it's useless without the ability to adjust the ECU calibration, but one thing to which You can bet Gearheads always will. find a way and thanks to ProCharger and Trifecta we now have a great way to get more power out of the C8.

All native calibration in the original ECU. In short, Trifecta has broken the C8's unbreakable ECU and this has opened up a whole world. world of possibilities with this platform, so now by simply sending Trifecta the ECU, they can do a custom calibration and in this case, this specific calibration for the stage 2 professional charging system that we are installing today is one of the benefits The key to native calibration in the stock ECU is that it guarantees maximum safe power, all without any negative impact on drivability, so with all that said, keep an eye on us as we install the world's first supercharger system to the Corvette ca and we show you the results on the

dyno

, do the first Baseline Diner runs to get our starting point for horsepower and torque, right where we expected 462 horsepower at the wheels and 451 lb-ft of torque now, since this is a z51 model.

GM announces that the output of the LT2 has been increased to 495 engine horsepower, so what that means is that we're looking at only 33 horsepower and a powertrain loss, which is pretty impressive. and with the baselines done in the shop, she goes to get Dylan to start the installation, my heart is good and With the tonneau cover removed, Dylan now has access to the original ECU from here, it is packed up and is sent to Trifecta to display the proper calibration. The trunk axle panel is then removed to begin installation of the ProCharger. way the jack shaft support brackets are installed strange strange then the jack shaft is put into place this jack shaft connects the rear mounted supercharger to the front end fitting Drive quite an attractive design that allows for a Much better packaging and access to the head unit for maintenance and the ProCharger intake manifold is now installed.

The good thing about this intake manifold is that it is equipped with a water-to-air intercooler that keeps the charge air temperature under control so that it can generate constant power year-round now that the supercharger bracket is installed P1 SC1 Head the unit has its Cog Drive installed and food is added before being installed now with the head unit installed the charge pipe goes up to the outside then the water air cooling system is installed and with a quick Trifecta swap the ECU is installed reinstall outside, okay let's all listen up okay, I must admit that in most cases I prefer the quieter helical gear set with the Pro chargers, but man, the straight cut gears absolutely activate it in this case, now the

procharger

's standard ho system only offers 5 PSI, but in this case we've gone. with the stage 2 system increasing that boost power to seven and a half pounds it should translate to around 170 horsepower at the tires, so let's figure out significantly 632 horsepower at the wheels and 552 pound-feet of torque as gains maximum gains of 170 wheel horsepower and 101 pound-feet of torque with maximum gains of 171 wheel horsepower and 144 pound-feet of torque and adding our previously documented 33 horsepower powertrain loss, that means we're now looking at almost 670 horsepower in the Z06 engine combining horsepower with another 100 pound-feet of torque to boot, so guys, there you have it from our Trifecta pro lens charger and the C8 is a combination absolutely winning and if you like this video, don't forget to like and subscribe to stay tuned. more and as always if you have any questions we'd be happy to chat, thanks for watching.
