I agree. And some guys are saying the procharger have heating issues and it takes up all of the little trunk you do have. If you go procharger you are better off just eliminating your trunk. GM should have done this instead of worrying about stupid golf clubs fitting.
@@finwaydiddy1977 yeah they could’ve made the rear end of the vette look better imo. If they wanted to tap into a new market with the c8, they should have gotten rid of the golf club requirement
@@Forever.Remain.Nameless trust me… I doubt you will use your warranty. Had a Maggie before and a Edelbrock and never had any issues. When to the track every weekend. But, this was on my C6 and C7 so maybe the C8 maybe be different.
I’d go with the Lingefelter. I have a Pro Charger on my street C5 and by the time it really kicks in at 4,000 RPM I’m already doing crazy speeds. I don’t want to get thrown in jail. So I hardly can even come close to redlining it. I’d rather be able to tap into the power much sooner and feel like I’m getting my money’s worth.
Would the stock engine in a lower gear give you the same power as the supercharger at 4k? 4k in 1st certainly isn't too fast. I never quite understood the desire to make an engine more powerful just so you could use less of the tach.
Not realistic... 1500HP will require everything to be beefed up, costing well over 60k, if not more. So 25k for a reliable build on a stock motor, rather than a full on build with 1500HP, now we're talking different purposes. There are levels to this s**t brotha
Yeah, the whole drivetrain has to be dropped to do the install so there's a lot of labor there. Then there is a bit more complexity to the kits and the components needed to handle fitting an S/C in this engine bay as well as handle the cooling.
Nice video but I disagree with the mag as more of a daily driver. If you have the factory zo6 set up then yes. However in my opinion as for aftermarket supercharger set ups as a daily, pro charger hands down. If you stay under boost you are relatively going to have a stock feel and miles per gallon. With the pro charger at least on my camaro boost doesn’t start kicking in till you’re in the 3k to mid 3k rpm’s and power stays linear till red line. With the mag the power is instant, kills gas mileage and power falls off at higher rpm. For that reason I went with pro charger and couldn’t be happier. The pro charger has the best of both worlds for daily driver and drag strip use. Also sounds like a F-14 with the uncut gears and big red bypass valve. To each is own though.
No, we all want to see a side-by-side comparison 8 Mile quarter mile, half mile, and mile. also we want to see road course times and side-by-side Roll Racing times from a dig a 20, 30, 60, and 80 roll racing side-side!

Price is too much , doesn’t make sense to buy a C8 and buy a super charger . Usually the after market makes sense because it’s cheaper than buying a faster car but in this case I’d rather get a faster car from the manufacturer

Love my procharger. It's been 10k miles on now, didn't consider calling them for a replacement I just took it off. It made my c8 the most fun car I've owned hands down
Plain and simple, the pricing is prohibitive for what you get. The FI forums are dead. For all the C8's out there, a minuscule amount are doing any kind of forced induction. With about 130,000 or more C8's out there, we should be seeing a bunch being modded. People just aren't into it for the price tag. Then there is the poor roll performance issue. Spending a ton just to get to a so so 60-130 pull.
We do agree that FI is expensive on this platform but unfortunately it isn't as simple as the older models. We hope in the following years pricing comes down on kits so more can get into the aftermarket performance. While it is pricey, once you drive a FI C8 Corvette you realize the cost is worth the enjoyment. - Justin
It's an OEM bumper with a new OEM center exit rear valance. We have a full kit here. www.paragonperf.com/paragon-c8-corvette-center-exit-exhaust-conversion.html
You can tell that 2650 is just barely coming on the map at such a low boost level. Gotta say that at the low boost levels we have here, I'd definitely lean heads/cam with something mild, a la BTR 220. If going boosted, I'd be doing hairdryers for these prices.
Its a great kit, but $22k without installation and support mods would be $25-27,000 new C8 plus $27k is Z06 price rate, and you get the 600+ without the headache
Pretty pitiful power from the ligenfelter. I'm making 785hp at the wheels with a LSA Engine. Still have the 1900 LSA supercharger and Factory bottom end and still 376 ci.
So the intercooler bricks are the same size and the charge air temp is the same on the second lap? I feel this is quite a disservice to anyone on the planet earth. (remember you said on the track)
A Heads and Cam package with full bolt-ons & E-85/Flex Fuel would be anywhere between $16-23.5K(depending on mods) + $3500 for install for about 570whp. While a cam offers a unique sound, both forced induction kits offer more power for similar pricing. We are just glad to offer many options for our customers. - Justin

Spot the difference: The Procharger High Output Intercooled System with P-1SC-1 (satin finish) kit for the C8 Corvette is $19,999. The Procharger High Output Intercooled System with P-1SC-1 (satin finish) kit for the C7 Corvette is $7,199. Did you notice? Notice how the C8 Corvette owners are being taken advantage of, how I consider they are being taken for mugs. There is no excuse for it. IF you PAY IT, they will CHARGE IT, all day long they will. So what COSTS an extra $12,800 between the two systems? It doesn't does it. The $$$difference is what Procharger think folks with C8 Corvettes will be daft enough to pay. When the Procharger unit for the C8 Corvette is similar in price to the C7 Corvette then it'd likely be worth getting, until then both of these different Supercharger systems are far too expensive. Especially the Lingenfelter, at (starting from!) $25k. Yea, PLUS the US State sales tax, an average of around 8% across the US Nation. So another $2k on top. PLUS of cause, if needed, as many would be, the FITTING costs*, with State sales tax on top of that. We are told the C8 LT2 engine has to come out when fitting the Lingenfelter kit. Even more fitting costs then. For the time being having checked out the costs I would avoid getting either Supercharger kits. How is a C8 Corvette in the first place not fast enough anyway? Within 3.5 secs or less exceeding the National speed limit. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * The Lingenfelter MAGNUSON TVS2650 Chevrolet C8 Corvette DI 700 Horsepower Supercharger Package, we are told "is ONLY sold as an installed program". To be fitted BY Lighenfelter OR an authorised installer. NO CLARIFICATION whether or not the $25k kit cost includes fitting, of cause if it was surely THIS would be prominently mentioned on the Ligenfelter website. Currently then, clouded in obfuscation and I suspect a more realistic $30k+ price tag. I would avoid both packages.
There are many differences between the C7 and C8 kits besides the price. The C8 System includes an intake manifold with a built in air to water intercooler. That system also needs an additional pump, a radiator, wiring and plumbing. On top of that the brackets and shaft are more complex on the C8 than the C7. The Lingenfelter Magnuson Kit includes the installation so there would be no additional costs for dropping the engine or any of the fitting of the parts.
Do you think they had a little wizard tucked away at the supercharger factory, waving his arms around, casting spells all over the place? They have to pay the engineers to come up with a specifically designed setup for the C8's newly developed engine. Then you have to figure out how to make the casting dyes for every single part because it's an entirely different engine. Do you have any idea how much just the tooling would end up costing the wizards at the supercharger factory? I have a slightly educated guess what the price might be because I worked in an aluminum foundry for a while in my early twenties while consuming large amounts of varying substances. It blew my mind when I found out how much the casting dye was for a Honda push mower transmission cover/heatsink of which I was the only person in the entire company that was capable and intelligent enough to pass Honda's certification to produce those parts.......I was doing more dope than you could shake a stick at so how I managed to pass that certification is one of the mysteries of the universe that may never be solved 😂
I think people are paying the crazy amounts of $$$ bc they've already overpaid for the most boring, uncomfortable, and poorly thought out car to drive that I've ever driven and it's not worth jack to trade it in so they trying to make it more fun to drive!!!!!!! oh...and still be alot less $$$ than a c8z06
For 25k and still runs a garbage 80-120. No thanks. Im keeping my c8 stock until this gets figured out. The cost benefits ratio on the c8 are atrocious. Although my c8 is a great stock car, My ess supercharged mustang with no other support mods runs circles around the c8 on the street
Yeah - unfortunately it is a pretty complex platform to mod with the engine being mid mounted. A lot of the cost is labor but there is quite a bit that goes into the mechanical components as well. I think costs may come down some with time but it is not a great platform to mod for anyone on modest budget or where budget is not an issue but you still want a good bang for the buck. However, if you love these cars and want more power, these kit will do it and make the cars a lot more fun to drive. So far, everyone who's done has been really happy in the end but most of them aren't looking for raw performance or x to xx times. There are better platforms for that for sure.

But I am concerned that there may be differences in some parts of overseas cars, so I would like to install and test them overseas. For this product, we currently offer a very favorable price. Would you be interested in joining us and helping us provide feedback on its situation?
$25 K only because it is on a C8. On any other car it is $12K. You can get a 810hp S/C Dark Horse from your FORD dealer for under $100K. Aftermarket is having a field day ripping off 'Vette owners as usual.... Sad thing is they keep paying .
This is not correct as I've seen C8s with roots type blowers making 700-750hp this guy's just wants you to buy the centrifugal style blower which is garbage in my opinion!

8-11k for a SC installed is realistic.
Lingenfelters System includes install price.
Procharger is about $2000 only for install.
C6Z h/c end of story
For 25k and still runs a garbage 80-120. No thanks. Im keeping my c8 stock until this gets figured out. The cost benefits ratio on the c8 are atrocious. Although my c8 is a great stock car, My ess supercharged mustang with no other support mods runs circles around the c8 on the street
Yeah - unfortunately it is a pretty complex platform to mod with the engine being mid mounted. A lot of the cost is labor but there is quite a bit that goes into the mechanical components as well. I think costs may come down some with time but it is not a great platform to mod for anyone on modest budget or where budget is not an issue but you still want a good bang for the buck. However, if you love these cars and want more power, these kit will do it and make the cars a lot more fun to drive. So far, everyone who's done has been really happy in the end but most of them aren't looking for raw performance or x to xx times. There are better platforms for that for sure.
Makes more sense to just buy a z06 at this point
DO A SOUND COMPARISON !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We have two great videos of the raw sounds of each system.

I'll stick with harrop
Hello sir, I am a manufacturer of car navigation screens. We have currently developed the Corvette C6 screen and have tested it on vehicles in China, and the situation is very good. But I am concerned that there may be differences in some parts of overseas cars, so I would like to install and test them overseas. For this product, we currently offer a very favorable price. Would you be interested in joining us and helping us provide feedback on its situation?
$25 K only because it is on a C8. On any other car it is $12K. You can get a 810hp S/C Dark Horse from your FORD dealer for under $100K. Aftermarket is having a field day ripping off 'Vette owners as usual.... Sad thing is they keep paying .
The mid engine platform is much more complex than a standard front engine vehicle. More parts = more money.
Fords are junk!
20k $ its totally overpriced mod
Both way overpriced for what they are.
For c$25000 dollars, I’ll stick with my 490 hp.
Wanna race?😂
On a private track sure, we don't condone any reckless behavior on the streets.

@@dynamicforgedNah. Groom Lake Runway aka Area 51.
Who the hell would pay that much money for a car and upgrade and be nowhere near 1000hp. Weak
25k for that $2k supercharger installed is nuts lol
Still way overpriced and when they come down 5-10k then I’m a buyer.
Twin turbskiesss over this for $20k 😢
This is not correct as I've seen C8s with roots type blowers making 700-750hp this guy's just wants you to buy the centrifugal style blower which is garbage in my opinion!
These kits are trash!!!!! 20k is 800+hp minimum we not talking 600 this is peanuts to a lot of stock car 😂
Thise magnusons are everywhere and basic as hell
exactly, taking advantage of people.
Does this come with a check engine light
