ok everyone thanks for the info and yes, i will pick up a book or two, but just cause i said im a mechanic didnt mean i knew everything about the engine, i know how to fix not all the technical stuff, but not to worry i will be going off to tech school soon and will know the technical info. i will learn more stuff before i say anyhting technical ill make sure to let everyone know what i mean and everything, and i know i dont use capitols or periods but i could care less its not like im trying to write a essay im just chatting on a forum, as for the part about the ricers doubting the corvette, its happened very often to me, where someone will have a eclispe or something with a turbo and say they will waste the stingray. even though when we race i win they still dont give it credit, but i will soon change that, hopefully.....

I want to put a supercharger on a street/strip car, and a huge supercharger sticking out of a hood doesn't really suit a street car in my opinion

Just a thought??
Could he be talking about 5 inches of vacuum ??
And Stingray...my young padawan vette owner.
Drive your vette and read alot on it.
Learn the ways of the corvette and the THE POWER OF THE SMALL BLOCK CHEVY...
Don't worry about the rice boyz... that is just what they are Boyzzz. If they wanna race keep it on the track. They drive like idiots ...
YOU have a VETTE now. You need to realize that Power and History that makes corvette ownership really, really unique.

Many of the C5s & C6s are running the Magnacharger systems that are similar in appearance but smaller. They fit under slighty larger than stock hoods.

With the large, standard pulley, mine's putting out about 11lb boost.

Wonder if it'd fit with a BB?

I plan to keep mine carburated, and I know I'll probly get laughed at, but I would like to keep a relativly low budget 
So... I'm stuck for now with a SBC, and I want a supercharger that will fit under my under and still maintain the carburator ...

You've got enough room at the front too?
