Does anyone have any feedback on this?
I'm talking about the computer recalibration, not the super charger. Sounds great to me and not very costly. I think I would need to run 91 octane if I choose to do this.

I kicked this around on a Donzi forum since it is tempting with the Whipple price drop. I was advised to have the ECU calibrated on a dyno and then again on the water. I also think that the lumpy 525 cam would not be a good choice for a SC engine and the compression should ideally be lowered too. I decided to wait.

Upgrading props will prob help to achieve optimal results.
Keep us updated on how it turns out!

Please keep the feedback coming
PS: This is ONLY a PCM upgrade and NOT a blower stage 1 kit.
Thanks

Ok I'm an !diot, I read the op got it as a question regarding the calibration of an sc setup. Have no exparience with the ecu upgrades other than on 496's. Works fine, but not a lot of top end improvement. Don't know if the same will be the case on the 525EFI. On the 496's a thermostat change is needed.

Actually I would try running the same prop as well.
That reprogram raises the rev limter as well to help use the entire power band of the engine.
