Oh, it's fun. The Camaro is pretty nasty without the NOS ( high 10s), and we are just out cruising, not racing.

 

Whitch supercharger you recommend?

 

Overall I recommend the Magnusen. It is a screw (modified Roots) type and so it provides good added low and mid range power, and it builds all the high end boost the engine can take (you can get over 500 RWHP although I recommend backing off to save the engine a bit).I had one back when I had the stock engine in my car and it was one of the sweetest and least troublesome mods I have ever had on any car. One downside of the Magnusen is that you have to buy a new high-rise hood (see picture of my car in the Gallery - even though I don't have the Magnusen any more I kept the hood), which means the full kit costs a bit more than other superchargers. But the lack of hassle later on (it gave not a single problem in over 2 years od daily driving) and the low and mid range torque are worth it.

Vortec, Procharger, and Paxton superchargers are centrifugal types -- they provide mostly boost at high RPM, but the standard models (Procharger model P, etc.) fit (tightly) under the stock hood. Not much to choose between these - they are all about the same. I have a Procharger D model now only because, with a built 427, I needed a lot more capacity than the biggest Magnusen can blow (my 427 sucks in as much air naturally as the Magnusen cam blow at full recommended boost): by contrast, Vortec and Procharger both make very high capacity blowers in their upgraded lines (models D and F, etc.)of racing blowers. I have had a lot of problems with my Procharger (in particular the SCr frame is a bit weak and warps) but then I was asking for a lot of power, and know some vortec owners that also had hassles, but others are very pleased.

 

all said and done ill bet the SC will be 10 k when your done

 

Yeah, I is not worth trying to do anything on the cheap. With $10K, you can do a blower right, and add the headers, etc., and a really good tune, that it needs to work well.

 

bite the bullit ,save the mod money and get a z06

 

That's a difficult decision for two reasons. You really can get the ZO6 performance with a supercharger for a lot less - even if you add in upgrading wheels and brakes etc. Ofcourse, it's not a ZO6 and it does not have a factory warranty, but the performance will be the same. Another thing to realize is that modfied cars generally lose value: you never get your money out of them if and when you sell.

Second, I doubt a ZO6 owner could resist leaving his or her car alone any more than any other owner on this forum. First its headers, then . . . for many people buying a standard model and customizing and hot rodding it is more fun per dollar.
