'Relatively' Low Price SuperCharger (please No E-Ram)
Hello All,
I want to SC my Z06, but do not want to spend more than approx. 3K. What are my options?
Thanking you in advance.
PS: please exclude installation price, tuning, hood, etc..... Just need to know which one is at or below this price. This could include a used one. If so, where to find and estimated cost. Thank you.

Re: Low Price SuperCharger (MonarchZ06)
About the only way you will be able to do it for $3K is to find a good used one and install yourself. Still going to be hard to get it for that low of a price.

Re: Low Price SuperCharger (LittleBoyBlu99)
I would recommend saving your pennies and when you have about $4995 Contact Andy at A&A Corvette.
He seems to be the man... In about a month I am going to do the same.
CanÂ’t wait until Tax season is here. :D
Just my .02

Re: 'Relatively' Low Price SuperCharger (MonarchZ06)
There really aren't any low priced kits available for the C5/Z06. We can get you a brand new system in the mid $4000. range but that wouldn't include programming for the Z06 (that is available for the C5). You'd been looking at close to $5K plus the install in the end.

Re: 'Relatively' Low Price SuperCharger (MonarchZ06)
Mon,
There are no low-cost options out there. Even if you manage to get a used kit from someone that is miraculously in good condition and meets your quoted price, there are a lot of incidentals required to get these things running "right". A supercharger is about finesse and power-on-demand, not just brute force (but you get that too). The finesse part is what will generally cost you -- I've spent almost $2K on incidentals (programming, new larger injectors, mounting bracket, pulleys, etc.) to get this car to be silky smooth at idle but also wallop on the top-end.

Re: 'Relatively' Low Price SuperCharger (NYSPC5)
Dont forget to budget in the other little incidentals such as tires they seem to wear really fast, upgraded clutches, shattered rears and transmissions. Otherwise you'll love it
