When the Corvette C8 was released, it was one of the biggest automotive changes to come in a long time. Taking the traditional front end shark looking body targeted to a 40+ demographic, Corvette said, “well Ferrari, McLaren, and Lamborghini seem cool, lets try this too…” Although not a real quote, what GM did was open the Corvette market to a huge audience of enthusiasts. Sadly though, besides bolting on an exhaust and needing to have the 4 different valves work and maybe an air intake, there was NO big power mods. For years enthusiasts have strapped big supercharger and turbo kits to these LS engines to hit the drag strips and make serious power. But GM said, nope we are going to lock this ECU down tighter than dorm full of Catholic school girls.
Over the past couple of years we have seen some YouTubers strap turbos and fuel computers to the cars to make some power, but its not really that reliable. All it takes is one person to unlock that ECU and then things get crazy. HP Tuners came out swinging and cracked the encryption which lead to mass insanity of making big power by tuning the C8’s actual ECU. Enter the picture of Magnuson and ProCharger, two of the largest and most renown supercharger manufactures. Having had a Magnuson Supercharger kit on my Tundra, I know what these are capable of when strapped to a V8. That roots style blower delivers immediate power where the centrifugal spools up a little like a turbo. But there is a reason for both… So we made a video a compared them!
