Oh look, we agree on something.

As-is, isn't the F150 "only" about 200-300lbs heavier than a comparable Sierra?

However, if it works it will be great.
now, IF, the new LT1 is similar in exterior dimensions and has the same amount of clearance (or similar clearance) that an LS motor does in a 4th gen f-body, then i'd say that supercharger has a pretty damn good chance at fitting under that cowl...maybe a bit of massaging would be in order (hopefully) instead of cutting it

If by some miracle it does fit I might have to consider picking up another F-body soon. I'm sure a lot of other f-body guys will be all over it too.

Well, the new Z06 sure looks the part.




Rear tailights are blacked out like all C7's should be imo.

Using Torque sync app. Not working.. so I just have the video.

Torque app reads vehicle speed sensor for speed data. It appears in the video that the speedo is lagging. Not sure. When I can get the video to export and encode the overlay to it, I'll post the vid up. It has the speed/rpm/air fuel/and 60-130 on it. Looks like the car is running rich as hell in 4th gear up top. 10.5 range. Could probably use some fine tuning.

Here is the 60-130 history from the pull today.. better than previous.. half tank fuel vs full, and 54 degress vs 68 from the december pull






And here is the video from the same pull.. I ran 4th gear out to rev limiter



Nice poppa! Def faster than my car haha

I say there won't be much power to be gained with a pulley and a toon on that baby 1740cc TVS blower, considering it maxes out at 20000rpm.

Im so upset that the C7Z is supercharged!!!!. IMO, they nailed the looks in comparison to the base C7. It looks awesome. But I really wanted to see a 550-600hp NA platform. So depressed

I haven't but am considering a pulse leash made by those same people. When I read into it, it seemed many that ran the pulse leash also ran the boost leash as well. They make top notch stuff.
