Who's Supercharger and Why?
Talk to me... with Carlisle Vette Show just around the corner I always start to think of "What next". Superchargers have been on my mind since the first C5 I purchased... Now driving a C6 Wide Body GS conversion I think a little something extra under the hood to go along with my long tubes, high flow cats, BB exhaust and air box would be a nice touch.
Who has had this done and why did you select what you have?

I would honestly start by using the Search feature in this particular Forced Induction forum.
Some questions you would help us by answering would be:
what are your power goals? (this is important b/c the various compressors have limitations)
do you drag race/road race the car? If so, is this a once-a-year thing?
how much modding do you think you'll do in the future? (tough question, but would help to know...sort of like the power goals question above).
do you want to keep your stock hood?
Just a few, but would help those who might respond.

Maybe not the best section to post this in, but it is performance related right?
Here is a link to a recent thread with some good info. You may find some really helpful stuff there, especially post 29.

FI is the way to go to make silly power in a street car. Supercharging is easier/ less expensive than turbos. You could also try N2O but then there's bottles to refill. Just plan to get some soft tires, preferably drag radials for traction.

When selecting kits I wanted to purchase from a shop within a reasonable distance for tuning or anything else I might need. Worked out nicely having ECS just a trip down the turnpike away.

I have an ECS NOVI 1500 kit installed on my Z06 and love it! Best bang for the buck by far. I also have WCCH heads, Cam and exhaust upgrades. Headers would definitely help wake it up. Supercharge that beast and be done with it. You will have a permanent smile all day long!
