Default Supercharger Question

I am looking to put a Magna Charger Supercharger kit into my 99 Corvette. Any opinions or experiences with it. What about 1/4 mile time, I am trying to get lower than 13.3s. I was also looking into the Vortech Turbocharger, but they don't have a program for it yet.

Thanks
:mad

I recently had a Magnacharge installled by 21st Muscle in Dallas and am very satisfied with the whole experince, from the installation to the performance. It runs great on the street and kicks butt when you stand on it. I would think you should get into the high 11's with just a little effort on your part. Good luck.
