Recommendation for Supercharger
I'm considering buying a supercharger for my 2004 convertible. It seems like ProCharger and A & A are the most common brands for C5. I'd appreciate comments and recommendations on both brands to help me make my decision. Your real-world experience will be invaluable. Thanks.

What are your goals with the car? Just more power, or to race it? Just fun on the street? A supercharger is a great add on for a street car. Lots of go fast, with stock like drive ability.

thank you for the recommendation. I just want more power for street use w/o being too obvious. I've owned the car since new and have added some bolt on stuff and headers, and you know what an addiction a Corvette can be. So much stuff available.

Thanks for the recommendation. I hope to hear from more supercharger users. My Performance shop is a ProCharger dealer, so he recommends that one, but I've read in the Forum that the ProCharger can have some belt problems. Others say A & A is most reliable. I just want to do my due diligence before I jump in.

You have settled on a centrifical SC or will you consider a roots system?? Do more research off this forum. You know what you
will hear from those that have SC that theirs is the best....
You should make a list of the things you want your vette to do
with a SC. Then find a system that matches your goals.
I am not going to say which system I have but it is the best.
Good luck.

Thank you for the comment, but I don't know enough, yet, to even know what a roots is; I hope to learn from experienced people like you. By the way, what brand is your SC?

Are you doing it yourself? I'm installing mine if you wanna see what's involved. I have teh best of both worlds. Procharger on a A&A bracket. If you have any question let me know.
