A few basic questions concerning supercharging.
Hey everyone I'm new here!
I've got a mostly stock 1990 c4 corvette and from what I gather, I understand supercharging is the best bang-for-buck as far as performance is concerned.
Can anyone tell me the best way to get started on the process of supercharging or name any particular brands that'd be worth looking into? Just looking for some basic info. Thank!

Based on my experience, I would not install a supercharger again thinking that it is best bang for the buck. If you install it yourself, you are going to spend at least twice what you think you need to get it performing correctly. Your two choices are to either take to someone like Greg @blowerworks and have him do it for you (not just sell you the parts).
If I was to do it over I would just sink the $ into the engine. There is no replacement for displacement!

Get Greg on the phone, tell him what you want to do, and he'll lay out a plan and cost.
You can take a look at my build (listed in sig, with a lot of help from SloRVette) it's an LT1 not an L98 but it will show you want I did.
