I say no. Especially not with the new superchargers. I am running an older Paxton setup on my 'vette, and I love it. And, it is great on the street! Got to love that supercharger whine!

No streetability should not be lost. I am not a fan of supercharger installs on a stock short block LT1. Compression is 10.5:1 with hypercracktic pistons. If you do go with the Supercharger get a custom progam tuned on a chassis dyno. The Vortech is a better blower IMHO.

Re: Supercharger (lampedusa)
I've had no problems what so ever. Never had another blower to compare it to. However, my research said that aboout 90% of opinions favor the vortech. I have not regretted it.

You'll get a better technical discussion if you go to the C4 Forced Induction/Nitrous section.
I have a dream of one day building a 396 stroker LT1, de-compression-rated and adapted for a supercharger, and putting out 700-800 hp...
