My 2017 Corvette Procharger project
After much research and planning and discussing with Dave @ EFX tuning (best tuner out there, that became a good friend)
WE ARE PROCHARGING the Corvette!!!  
Thanks to Dave and his team at EFX Tuning I now have all the parts on order that are needed for this project.
the car already has Corsa X-Pipe and Corsa Xtreme exhaust.
Ordered:
-NGK step colder plugs
-Corsa 1-7/8 Long Tube Headers
-P1SC procharger kit
-160 TSTAT
-and the proper BARO harnesses
Subscribe to this thread to follow the project.
End result is going to be roughly 575-600 WHP on 93 octane
I have nothing but positive things to say about Dave and his team at EFX
He just tuned my customers 2017 Grand Sport and got 470WHP out of a few simple bolt ons

Very nice. What made you go with the P1 vs the other units? Is the safe limit with the LT1 around 600-650rwhp max?
Should be a beast.

I was planning this for a while, waiting for everything to fall into place, then bang it out fast and get it tuned so the car don't lay up long.
car is at daves @efxtuning now

im really not trying to drag race this cause I DONT wanna have to replace axles, a clutch, torque tube or anything else...
just cruise with it , go to cars and coffee meets, etc;
now the Camaro on the other hand, dump it at 6200 every pass , break it , tow it home, rebuild and GO lol

dave cleaned everything up nice for me. We left the covers off so he could swap out the MAP with the breakout harness and throw the catch can in that he got me !

was thinking about running it up across my windshield and down the side of the car thru the fender and rim.
i know I can trim it down, and either cut the cover or run it above and behind the coil plugs havent decided yet.
prob a couple of other small tweaks ill have to make when it comes back.
its so relaxing having the car at dave's lol I dont worry about it at all cause I know its in good hands !
