Default My c7 build: procharger/kooks/nx/lmr....

Hi guys, just wanted to start a thread for my '14 C7 vette. I'll be updating it as I do more with the car. So hopefully this is the correct section for my post. Anyways, I bought the C7 new last year after selling my 09 GTR which was a little too boring. The vette is way more fun especially with the manual trans! Autos are boring I use it as a daily driver to go along with my 95 6 speed supra which is mostly used at the drag strip, 8.42@176 is it's best et

This was the car stock when i picked it up ..



Had the car baselined stock and then a little tuning done by Darin at Double D Tuning here in orlando. It made 418hp stock then 425 within a few pulls of tuning via HP tuners.




After that I had a set of Kooks longtubes and x pipe installed and re-dynoed it. Made 440hp with the addition of the kooks stuff and it sounded way better :thumbs:



Next was the Procharger D1SC install along with a custom camshaft and breather tank from LMR. Big thanks to Rob at LMR for getting me all the right parts and very quickly :thumbs: Darin at double d tuning installed everything and said the fit and finish of the procharger kit was amazing and installed very easy! the cam install was a pain to do but went smoothly.













We left the car on pump gas and the 4.75" blower pulley to start with. At 6.5 psi it made 683 hp with fairly conservative tuning:yesnod: Thanks to the tuning by Darin, the car runs and drives like stock even with the big lmr camshaft

Here's a link to a video of the car getting tuned, i'm not sure how to embed the video since its on facebook..
https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=849128378443428

more updates to come soon. Still have an NX plate kit to install and then I am planning to fit a decent size tire on the back and hopefully make some 9 second passes!

Thanks guys!

Man your a cool chick.

I hate to pry and I know it's not the polite thing to do to a girl, but I was wondering how young you are now?

Yeah, I mean I love the car so far and just trying to take it slow and figure it all out and see how far we can go but keep it nice since it is my daily. I definently want to run 9's in it. Later in the year I may look into selling my supra and playing more with this car but that Is all in the air right now

We just spoke with LMR and told them what the build was going to be and they gave us what cam was best for it. It's a decent size and we had to delete the DOD/AFM.

If you want the 15in Welds out back you're gonna have to get in line for a set of LG spindles first, or settle for an 18, which I believe is the smallest you can run with unmodified spindles on these C7s...

Any plans on going with a F series blower in the future? Very nice build, and the powder coated black Procharger is a nice touch.
