Default super chargers

hey I am new on board and have not had a reason to post anything yet, but I AM NOW in need of some opinions of some fellow zo6 cats. I am looking to buy a supercharger for the 03' ZO6 that I drive around like a mad man and wanted to see if anyone has any good or bad experiences with this, and or other things that I will need to add when I do get one!

rock on thanks

These are the guys to get in touch with when it comes to F/I.
Speak to Chris or Doug and they'll put you in the right direction.

rock on thanks

Got a pro-charger on mine, 543 rwhp.
I bet I drove faster when it was stock due to the fact you have to be carefull on how much you press on the pedal in first and second, third is a blast but now you ram into the rev limiter so fast you barely have time to shift to forth at + 90mph. Get used to pitching the thing sideways at freeway speeds, the traction control doesn't even have enough time to react untill it is too late.
Plus, no need to do anything else on a stock lower end. Mine really made 585 rwhp and had to be de-tuned to 543 so it would live, so there's no more performace parts shopping that can be done.
Go for the shinny stuff after that and see how long you can hold the thing straight while under power.
