Supercharged LT5 engine?
I live above 6000 feet in Colorado. We lose a few HP due to the rarified atmosphere out here. With a 10 to 1 comp ratio, I was wondering if anyone had attempted to supercharge an LT5 engine yet?
I am pricing cent superchargers for my '80 project Vette, but that is a whole other story...

with stock compression, low boost (about 5 psi) works well and will allow the engine to live.
nice to see this solution emerge. it's a nice alternative to a stroker at a greatly reduced cost
I saw this the first time back at BG, it was a nice surprise.
very cool
