Procharger whistle is not stealthy.

I would take a twin screw blower over a centrifugal unit. I've seen several examples of both types of poweradders in street cars (albeit not in any F-bodies) and the Procharged cars performed similarly to STS turbo equipped cars. Great on a dyno but not impressive at the track. I'd imagine it would have something to do with the torque curves of the two different FI units. The twin screw likes to make alot more torque down low compared to the centrifugal blowers.

Either way this car is going to scream with FI!

A 2SS is $34k. I'd be pretty shocked if a 556hp Z28 was only $41k. I'm expecting more like 45k.

I'd expect about 48k to 52k for the Z-28...WHENEVER we may see it. I think it also depends on if the GT500 continues selling as well at the popularity of the CTS-V and ZR-1.

I think with some options and after TTL, that might be right, but I'm thinking the base price has to be at least a couple grand lower than that of a base Corvette (currently $49,415).

Does any one have a video/ audio of what it sounds like. I know on the Trailblazer SS it complety took over the rumble of the V-8

My friend did it on his. He doesn't have a video, but its similar to this Youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jblRTVzPg8Q
