ProCharger or Magnuson! Which supercharger would you pick?! Orrrrr. Would you go twin turbo??

[@dennissmith7214]

I just kept thinking through the vid how you look like Eminem’s long lost brother! 😳😂😂🤷🏽‍♂️

[@boywonderrr71]

The Lingenfelter 2650 kit for $25k installed. It comes with or needs the valve springs done and is mandatory. Needs the intake and driveshafts too and have corsa headers avail. plus catback for $30k minus the exhaust.

[@erikradzins]

Almost EVERYDAY I am lucky enough to drive a ProCharged C8, and I still daily keep falling in love with the car more and more.

[@HughGRexshin_]

Have you dyno’d it? Any information would be appreciated I won’t be doing this anytime soon but it is a goal and I’d love to know how the community is adding performance

[@wat2875]

I want to procharge mine so bad but i cant bring myself to basically void the warranty this early 😂

[@erikradzins]

@@wat2875 ProCharger has a 3 year 36 warranty for the car thats available. :)

Centrifugal would be easier on the transmission

And rods.

[@notbuyingit8047]

Those prices are absurd. The Paxton kit I put on my c7 was $6k. Cost for stuff is so outrageous. Corsa mufflers are near 3 grand.

[@salesteam274]

Agreed. A supercharger kit should not exceed 10k for any reason. There’s just not enough hardware there to support that pricing.

[@dgo9121]

They are targeting boomers with deep pockets

[@Highlander1432]

You guys would be shocked how close a few boltons+E85 tuned car is vs a procharged C8 with procharger base tune My $ is on the bolton+E85 car

[@bobsmoot8454]

I really appreciate that you gave total in costs for both systems and a decent explanation of the pro con of each approach

[@vivid_racing]

Thank you! We appreciate the kind words.

[@ProChargerSuperchargers]

Thanks Aaron and team. Great video. Happy boosting!

[@M8trixmedia]

Awesome write up. Thanks for the detail to it ❤

[@kaylak1275]

Or just buy a C7 Z06 & save 50+ grand. Pully change & you'll smoke almost anything.

[@vivid_racing]

We also made a video about a C7 Z06 getting some upgrades that made almost 800hp! You should check it out!

[@boywonderrr71]

1st great job on video. The Lingenfelter 2650 kit for $25k installed. It comes with or needs the valve springs done and is mandatory. Needs the intake and driveshafts too and have corsa headers avail. plus catback for $30k minus the exhaust.

[@raymondfrank9202]

good one

[@quiltyja]

Any recommendations based on actual implementation between ProCharger vs Magnuson superchargers or twin turbo setup on the 2024 C8 Z06 HTC?

[@Trading-Freedom11]

Corvette tax is real . For that much for a kit ,might as well get a z06 . It would hold the value better ,already fast and has a very unique sound. Eventually the prices would come down with more volume and more people offering other kits .

[@CedrickLubin29]

I’m going with the Magnuson supercharger

[@Highlander1432]

Had the Magnuson Heartbeat on my 16 Camaro SS for almost 7 years now. It's been amazing Fits and runs like it's OEM INSTANT torque as soon as you give it throttle

[@kurtthomas4746]

Hi, I have a procharger on a C8, the STD set up stinks, however went with stage 2, pulled out sent . to WA state for tuning, took off all that piggy back junk from stage 1, and the car is a different car, runs better, picked up 100 more RWHP, transmission shifts and works way better, very happy now, sounds great, highly recommended, I think he might be off some in his pricing on procharger, it’s not as much as he thinks and I had it professionally installed by a pro charger dealer in NC, and would 100% do it again. Biggest reason I went with a procharger was, they were 1St to have it ready, although I really wasn’t ready until they could tune the ecm, which was 100% better .

[@vivid_racing]

Good to know! Thanks for the feedback 💪

[@CaLiKiLLa01]

Where did you get tuned, Wongs?

[@kurtthomas4746]

Not sure what you mean Wongs? Sounds like a smart ass remark. It was HP Tuners thru ProCharger. The shop took out ECM , and overnighted it to them and returned the same way.

[@kurtthomas4746]

@@vivid_racing, I might have done a Magna charger, if it would have been available sooner, I have had experience with Magna on GM trucks and been happy with those, know what I know now, I think I would still stick with ProCharger, very happy with the stage 2 set up. 620 rwhp, I am no racer, just a 66yo guy that likes the sound and extra acceleration it gives, would 💯 do it again!

[@DADDYisGUNNAsonU]

U ask thee WONG question ​@@CaLiKiLLa01

[@vasiliosdinis1708]

Must have the Z51 package for the Magnuson.

[@TheSauc3y]

20k for a supercharger kit... You might as well just put that towards purchasing the Z06

[@ravnos04]

I wish it were that easy. My 2LT ‘22 C8 was $98k ($5k above MSRP). A Z06 built out the way I want is like $50k more before the markup. I put a deposit on a TT kit from Boost District. Even after an upgraded clutch and axle I’ll be looking at around +$35k. Yea, warranty will be voided, but it will be a ton of fun. Hopefully, in another few years, the Z06 will be at a price I can grab one. That car is on another level with the sound and extra RPM, though.

[@hotrodscott]

I'll take the instant torque Magnuson all day long

[@DADDYisGUNNAsonU]

You'll take whatever i tell you to take, son

[@vivid_racing]

That’s right. You tell him.

[@nunyubizness5483]

@@vivid_racing These prices are MORONIC. Twin turbos are the only choice for the C8, and they should be installed and tuned with HP Tuners for $20k or less FULL RETAIL.

Great stuff!. I'm planning on the c8 z06 in a few years will any of these brand of superchargers make for the C8 Z06?? Thanks!..

[@vivid_racing]

That's a great question! I sure hope they do but as of now, I haven't heard anything yet.

[@TheFirst1278]

So what’s before and after time from 0-100mph and 0-150mph?

[@joem7755]

The price gouge and monopoly all these COs are doing is too much. A 4 years ago I bought my c7 procharger for about $7K. I get the c8 and the tuning is a pain but when your talking 20+K you might as well sale and get an E-ray. You will get the power and much more and a new warranty ..

[@vivid_racing]

A supercharged E-Ray would be sick!

[@CaLiKiLLa01]

What are the wheels in the back over his left shoulder?

[@vivid_racing]

From left to right. Vorsteiner FF103 -> VR Forged D07 -> Skol SK12 !

[@TheDavcrz5]

What is the wheel horsepower on each kit? Don’t care about what it’s making at the crank.

[@st5637]

Hmm so the z06 is a better deal as the transmission and brakes are upgraded as well!

[@thedoctormma9433]

My heart says fuck it... always go twin screw supercharger. My brain says balance out power delivery according to the engine. I'd put a peaky procharger on a big chevy v8 but I'd put a twin screw supercharger on a peaky k20/k24.

[@Sir.VicsMasher]

The Magnuson is a TVS (twin vortices supercharger) and not twin screw like Whipple.

[@kinggor555hk]

Which one is better for the eray to compete with the z06 on the top end speed which Eray is lacking? Eray can beat Z06 with its excellent low end torque but z06 will catch up. With these supercharger, z06 will be no match. Thanks

[@vivid_racing]

Ya know what, this is a great question. Might make a quick follow up to this video. I could be wrong, but I'm almost certain fitment is quite a bit different in the e-ray even though it uses the same LT2 engine.

[@curtissharpe9233]

These should be no more than 10k to 12k installed these prices make them pointless

[@vivid_racing]

Most people that have a C8 though can usually afford to toss some $$$ at it if they're wanting a big kick in horsepower

[@csankimonkey]

cicio quoted me 35k for the magnuson... idk

[@rondail5675]

Really neat but just buy a Z06

Taking donations if you are willing!

$20k for a SC?! GTFOOH!
