Supercharging an 03 Z06
Hi all,
I am inheriting my dad's C5 Z06.
I love the car, I've driven it multiple times on long trips, and love it.
However, I really want to go to about 525-550 HP. I think this is probably doable with a good supercharger (thinking Kenne Bell or Procharger).
My questions are:
#1 --- Any recommendations on brands to seek out or avoid, based on quality, service, etc?
#2 --- Can an otherwise stock C5 Z06 clutch, motor, drivetrain support 550 HP?
Thanks guys, go Vettes!

Brad,
A&A Corvette and ECS are both fantastic kits and will get you past your goal.
550 or so rwhp is pretty easy. Pretty soon you will get used to it and get the sickness for more lol enjoy it!

ECS base kit, OBX Headers(cheap, make just as much power as the others), and an ECS Alky Control single nozzle. 600-625rwhp. Personally, I'd do an RXT or Mantic clutch while it's apart.
That blower will allow you to grow another 150-200hp if you want down the road. Peaked on my old car at 846-850 on 3 different dyno's with a baby cam I speced. With a big cam, 870's would be doable on pump+meth.
ECS base 1500 kit is great for a street car. That's why I have one on my current C5z and had one on C6.

My car has been right at 650 for almost 4 years and definitely hasn't been babied, of course anything can happen anytime, But that can be said for any high performance Vehicle.
One thing that's been mentioned that is so true, You will acclimate to the power and it doesn't take long
