Supercharging....I'm ready. Now who?
I have a head/cam car. 10.8 compression ratio is a concern. Who can you guys recommend? I'm in Virginia, but logistics is not a problem, I'll travel for the right guy. Supercharging or Turbo? General advice? Any vendor who reads this is welcome to contact me and i would like to talk to you. Opinions?

In two words....Call Andy.
He will give you the best advice (and even refer you to another shop if it's in your best interest!)

LPE in Ind. or 21st Century muscle in Texas hands down. No dancing around, no if's ands or buts just good work, all the time.

There is obviously more than one good tuner around. Have heard good things about Andy out in CA and Chris at ECS. Maybe I'm partial, but I would at least talk to John at 21st Century before I made a decision. Exceptional knowledge, top notch integrity.

Andy is top notch for the ati, but he's a long way away...
I'd go with LPE in Indiana...not only are they very reasonable, but they stand behind their work with a warranty, and you'll get the lingenfelter name if you ever resale...it's a good name to market with.

Gary, I had heads, cam, from LPE when I bought my 2001. Had 11 to 1 compression ration. I used LPE for Magnacharger and they lowered my compression ration under 9 to 1. Call Tim at LPE. I am very pleased. They are the only ones I am familiar with. 444 dynoed rwhp.

21st Century Muscle Cars in Dallas is a satellite shop of LPE -- John Page and company are top-notch -- no bulls**t from these guys. I believe they will warranty not only their work, but the engine it goes on as well. It is at least worth the phone call (to either LPE or 21CMC) for a chat -- I think you will be impressed.
Why not the twin-turbos?? :reddevil

I guess I'll toss my hat onto the ring also :) We are currently offering some VERY good discounts on all superchargers that we carry.
