Default Carroll vortech supercharger

Does anyone have any suggestions on the Carroll Vortech Supercharger?? Try to keep my vette as reliable and low maintenance as possible. What is the suggested supercharger for a 96 LT4? Thanks

Carroll is no longer in business as Carroll, he goes by Blowerworks.

Shoot me an email, I'll tell you more.

Unless he quit in the past 2 days, he is still very active in forced induction for Corvettes.

Greg is a good guy and very knowledgable of boosting C4's. I beleive he was one of the pioneers in this area long before anyone else was doing it properly.

He also uses Vortech blowers in his kits and they are very reliable.

I would say there are quite a few factory parts that you will want to make sure are in good shape prior to installing a supercharger (start with the crank hub... hehe). Greg will have tons and tons of info for you to read and think about prior to purchasing anything. He is really good at making sure you are fully informed about what you are getting into...

Did I mention the crank hub?
