Procharger on my H/C setup
I just got my car not too long ago, but I decided that with this one I'm going to skip most of the small stuff and save up for a supercharger. It's already got a nice H/C setup to hold me over. The only other thing I may get is a fast intake/tb.
Anyway, I was wondering what I would need to do to safely put a procharger on my car. I don't know if I would need to change the cam or the heads because their milled or how much boost I could run on the stock bottom end. The car has 28k on it now and it's my DD. Here's the mod list:
2002 Black Z06 - AFR 205 heads milled to 59cc, upgraded double springs, Custom Grind Comp Cam 232/236 .617/.600 112 LSA, LG Pro Headers, Borla Stinger Catback, Halltech CAI, ASP Underdrive Crank Pulley, 7.400" Chromoly Pushrods, LS2 Timing Chain and Sprocket, .045 Cometic Headgaskets, B&M shifter, 42lb injectors , nittos 440/406.
so what would be required to get to the highest power that will hold a while before I have to get a new shortblock?
Thanks.

With those milled heads I dont think you can run anything more than 5-6 psi on pump gas and you'll be scared eveytime you hit it.
If you can sell those heads/cam or trade them with AFR 72cc you can run 9-10psi with stock short block of course with great tune 600+rwhp shouldnt be a problem.

yes 5 to6 psi would be safe if your tune is good. your lope is a little low but it has been done before. You should be around 640rwhp or so. Block should be good for about 700 give or take. You will also need a clutch and hardened out put shafts and pro a rear diff brace at the least. good luck

Thanks guys. I'm not planning on doing this any time soon. (well may end up being sooner than I think I guess), but I wanted to know if I could just throw a blower on as is. What would I want to change to make the most power though? just the heads and cam? What heads and kind of cam would I be looking for?
I jsut need to have a goal to save up for. I'm definitely doing something big with this car because I regretted not doing it on my last car. I also might just skip the blower and go big displacement or something.
