Default Performance tips? Supercharger?

Hello, I am looking for any performance upgrade tips and recommendations. I would like to find a supercharger for a 03 C5 Corvette. I purchased the B&B Bullet Exhaust as well as the vararam air intake for an addition. Can anyone give me any specific recommendations??

Try this thread first and see what kinds of things don't work so well. Real eye opener on some mods.

Can't give you any recommendations but I'm running the Vararam B2 with Borla Stingers. On Dec 7th, I've got an appointment to install a Maggie sc.

We'll see how it goes....

Popular supercharging systems include the Magnuson and the ATI Procharger. Both deliver good power gains and are very reliable.
