Supercharger Question?
I Just got my C5 back from the Vette doctors. I had the Rx450 package installed. (Heads and cam) w the ZO6 intake manifold installed. I want to know if I install the Magnuson Supercharger Can I still use the same heads and cam or do I have to change them. Is there anything else involved?

Re: Supercharger Question? (bobroz)
bobroz,
This is just my opinion but I think the Magnuson supercharger on your car would be a bad choice. Your cam was not setup for a supercharger, I am sure they milled your heads, and that would have raised your compression. The Magnuson supercharger would replace your LS6 intake. Also by design the Magnuson supercharger will be pumping a lot of very hot air into your motor. I would not be surprised if your car would actually loose power, especially on those hot summer days when the engine is running at a higher temp. But it may just detonate itself to death before that happens.
