Supercharged C7 Corvette Pumps Out Nearly 1,000 HP!

Complete Street Performance specializes in high-horsepower, late-model GM V8s, and this C7 is no exception.

There is no doubt that the Chevrolet C7 Corvette takes exceedingly well to tuning, whether it’s an NA approach that keeps the original setup as a base or a forced induction approach utilizing turbo or supercharging. In this video, Complete Street Performance (CSP) shows what supercharging can do for the platform. The Corvette featured on CSP’s YouTube channel in this installment utilizes a beautiful, billet aluminum intake manifold and an F-1A-94 ProCharger supercharger sitting atop an LME 427 c.i. sleeved block. “I’m excited to see what it makes,” says CSP owner Andrew Zurick in the video. “It should be making close to 1,000 horsepower and a whole ****load of torque!”

The video briefly covers the assembly of the engine after a failure of one of the main bearings. Once the motor is installed back in the engine it’s time for the dyno runs. “So we’re not sure if it’s going to have enough fuel to do this,” says Zurick. “Pump gas would be fine, but on E85, which is a flex fuel, we’re not sure if it’s going to keep up, even with the Holley pump on the low side the high side might give us issues. We’re going to find out though.”

With the bright yellow C7 strapped securely to the chassis dyno, the runs start out conservative with the first attempt producing 646-rwhp. Consecutive runs see that number rise to as high as 931-rwhp. In the end though the Corvette doesn’t disappoint, finally pumping out a solid 978 horsepower to the rear wheels. Says Zurich: “That yellow banana? We’re going to make some changes and make a little more power. We want to see over 1000 rear-wheel-horsepower so we’re going to boost it up.” Judging by this video, Zurich and his crew should have no problem meeting and even exceeding that goal. Stay tuned!
