Supercharger question
Hello. My dad has a 04 z06. Its stock for now but in the near future he wants to put alot of power in their(to beat my friends porscheturbo) So we where looking at superchargers. Well im am import tuner kid that all the vet people hate because i think my car is fast then you guys show me what a real fast car is. I know about turbos but nothing about superchagers, I haven't talked spec's to anyone so i came here!
Whats the best
Brands?
Price?
How much HP gain can i get?
Will it void the Warranty?
what is the avg. install price?
Does it make the car not fun for everyday driving?(easy driving, in city traffic)
Would i need to upgrade suspension?
I want to see about high 500's rwhp.....that should put the turbo in its place!!! Right now my other really close friend has just gotten his dads carrera4s and the Z can take it down off the line and around some tight turns around here. But that turbo is just quick as hell of the line and it beats the Z by about 2 car lengths. I just can't wait to see the look on his face when we beat him

P.S. Never street race it's wrong
