Having great results with Procharger on C6 Corvettes We have done two automatic C6 cars recently. Ordered the C6 tuner kits with no special options. Both cars were completely stock and dyno'd right at 325rwhp on our Mustang chassis roll. Very good numbers for stock auto cars.
With the addition of long tube headers and the basic C6 procharger kit we hit 475rwhp with both cars. This is not with a "ragged edge" tune either. We, as well as the customers, have been very happy with the results.
Only other mod made was fuel injector upgrade, but still on stock pump.

I thought the procharger kits were making 6 psi and generated 525 rear wheel horse. That horsepower number (525) was rated for a manual trans, so it makes sense that the auto would develop less to the ground. Very good results for 5 psi. The 6 psi unit on the new Z06 blew the motor in the development stages at ATI's test facility. Maybe 5 psi is the new standard for being safe and reliable on the LS2/7?

it helps it breath more. try blowing on a straw then blowing on a garden hose. which one would you choose if you were getting filled up with 6 psi. lol bad analogy
