We recently installed an ATI ProCharger on a C4 LT1 that had 190K+ miles on it. The original owner still owned it. Bob

99 C5 stock bottom end, I installed a maggie, heads, cam, LT's, undersized pullys, ECS overdrive pully at 80k miles it now has 107k miles. I have put almost 1/2 of his 60k miles on my C5 after 80k with a blower to boot. the guy is full of stuff and has no idea of what he speaks. The best way to deal with a fool is to smile and say RIGHT, then get back to what ever important thing you were doing.

27k miles putting this to the road



More Than Zero
