Would help to know what year your car is and is it an auto or manual?
You can get close to Z06 HP with Vararam, Long tube headers, high flow cats, aftermarket exhaust, under drive pulley, polishing throttle body and intake manifold, and a tune.
You can do all the above and add a mild cam and some heads and gain even MORE HP.
What is your goal? How deep are your pockets? Are you willing to trade off performance for longevity? Horse Power is addictive and like most addictions it's expensive...

Supercharger. Having said that, depending on how you drive, you will definitely want to beef up the rear end, get sticky tires, and obviously a better clutch. Plan on spending close to 10K or so for the kit, all the supporting mods, install, and tune.

You can be opening the proverbial CAN of worms... This leads to that which causes this to effect that and changes everything... and so on.And THAT'S IF you do ALL the work yourself!

If you've never driven a SuperCharged C5 Corvette; you don't know what you're missing!
It is amazing, the power when you go into boost!
If something breaks, fix it. Guys drive SC C5's for years sometimes, and nothing breaks.
Guys drive 100% stock C5's, and tear things up too.
There are guys who SuperCharged their C5's after they got to 100,000 miles; and have driven them at that power level for years, with nothing breaking.
You can go buy a Prius, and the rear end might go out of it!
But; it'll never make you smile like a SuperCharged C5 Corvette will!
It's very hard to find someone who SuperCharged, and later regretted it.
Just do it!
