Super charger
I have a 95' LT1 and recently had installed Hooker Headers, shorty huggers and added the cold air intake. I am considering next, the Procharger supercharger to increase RWHP. Without any other modifications to the engine, what are the pros and cons. I am also considering a 3.55 rear as well.
In your opinion, is this worth the $5000-$6000 investment?

it all depends on what kind of power or 1/4 mile numbers you are looking for. i was conent at first with a 12.45 sec car with a vortech kit and the 3.55s in the rear. not bad for a street car.
as time and the need for speed increased a total redo was in need . low compression 383, 13lbs of boost, upgraded 4l60e trans ,dana 44 w/ 3:54 ..... the list is long hi 10's in the 1/4 $40,000 invested.
so think of what you really are after and build it once. or just buy a faster car all ready done. (like mine)

I personally would not supercharge a stock shortblock LTX.
