Nice car !

Is this one stock or modified?

I personally run a supercharger with the stock cam. I like the driveability as it idles and drives like OEM but then has the power once you are into the throttle. Guys making 600-800 RWHP with the blower setups. Heads/cam can never make that type of power with a LS3.

Thank you ! It’s stock . Definitely plan on modifying but I’m taking my time to do it right.

and ah okay. I just love that chop lol but my end goal is to supercharge . And would definitely like to make at least 600 rwhp

Did you transplant an LS7 into a base car and supercharge it? Don't think I've seen that before. Wild.

ECS has 25% off their supercharger kits right now. I don't know if it gets any better than that. Unless you were leaning toward a twin screw blower. With that kind of discount, I would go for the supercharger first. https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...sary-sale.html
