Watch These Two ProCharged C8 Corvettes Hit the Track for Testing
While showing off this pair of ProCharged C8 Corvettes, the supercharger maker also released details about its new kits.
ProCharger has been working on developing its C8 supercharger kit for some time now. But it isn’t done just yet, and after hitting the dyno a few months ago, it recently hit the track with not one, but two ProCharged C8 Corvette development cars to collect as much data as humanly possible. Luckily, they filmed the whole thing and condensed it into this cool video that shows off this pair of blown C8s having fun out on the track, all the while emitting some pretty intoxicating noises.
Aside from the footage, ProCharger also released some new details on its forthcoming supercharger kit for the mid-engine Corvette. It’s currently taking orders for the intercooled kit, which the company claims can add some serious power to the C8’s LT2 V8 even with the stock exhaust in place.
The HO Intercooled Tuner Kit Plus (P-1SC-1) comes with timing control but no tune (since the ECU hasn’t been cracked yet) or fuel system upgrades. It’s capable of adding over 175 horsepower with no other modifications on just 6 pounds of boost. Step up to the Stage II Intercooled Tuner Kit with a port injection option, and that number grows to 225 plus extra horsepower on 8-9 psi.
For those that want more, the HO Intercooled Tuner Kit is a straight bolt-on installation that requires only basic hand tools and no cutting or trimming. It features an air-to-water intercooler system, a CNC billet aluminum intake manifold and bracket system, and a self-contained head unit.
Additionally, those seeking a ProCharged C8 have a number of options they can add to any of these kits. Those include a polished or black supercharger and bracket, a helical gearset for noise reduction, injector bungs and a fuel rail for the intake manifold for port fueling for the Stage II kit, black finishes for the intake manifold and manifold cover, carbon fiber upgrades, and a choice of P-1X, D-1SC, or D-1X head units.
The cost for all this goodness starts out at $11,999 for the Tuner Kit, $12,899 for the Tuner Kit Plus, and $12,499 for the Stage II Tuner Kit. No word on when these C8 ProCharger kits will actually go on sale, but by the looks of things, it won’t be much longer.
