Hey guys i am torn between selling my car and getting a twin turbo supra if my dad let me or to supercharge my zo6. My girlfriend will buy it but am scared if my engine will blow. If i did the supercharger you think i would fall in love with my can and would it still be reliable with low boost, say like 5-7 punds. Thanks, Brian.

You sound like an excellent contestant for the MagnaCharger kit. Look at some of the LPE/21MC setups -- very impressive and their target market for the kit is, AFAIK, streetcars.

You sound like the type of guy who should be driving a Supra.

Magnacharged Z will be just as reliable as a Supra TT. IMO, it'd look kinda funny to have the girl driving the V8...
