Supercharger warranties....
Getting ready to add a supercharger and to the best of my knowledge Edelbrock is the only one that offers a warranty up to 5 year 100,000 miles. I had one on my 2011 Camaro SS and loved the added power. What are your thoughts about adding a supercharger to a Z06??

what do they warranty?
I have a had a Maggie on my 99 and just had it reworked after 70K as a bearing was making some noise....you should probably get 100K with no issues anyway...
the new TVS system for the Z06 looks badass and that would be my choice if I was going FI again....not that there is anything wrong with the Edlebrock

I believe if the Edlebrock is installed by one of their "qualified" shops then the customer can purchase an optional warranty that covers the actual engine too. I had heard it was 3 yrs/36 months, but that was a while back and things could have changed. I think you'll find them much tougher on warranty requirements then GM is too. I was considering the Edlebrock myself when it first came out and did a little research...
Whatever you install, keep the boost to a minimum (5 psi), the timing conservative and the A/F a tad rich. Cast hypereutectic pistons don't like detonation.
Another minor consideration... your 5yr / 100K drive train warranty on your new 2013 Z06 is now TOAST.
On the flip side, 600+ rwhp with totally stock drivability is a beautiful thing.

ya, im sure if u have any additional mods or anything, they will look to get out of that warranty and blame it on the cam or something..
Id stay with vortech, procharger, or kennebell, but thats just me..

There is a local dealer here that will install an Edlebrock SC on a Z06 and honor the remaining powertrain warranty that is on the car. Might want to look into something like that.

tired of the power it makes stock already? even in stock form I figured it would still be plenty fast over the Camaro you had. what supercharger did the Camaro have? the warranty is nice, but like pewter99 said about the tvs, I agree.

I've got one on mine. Of course the oem warranty is null and void but I like it so far. You may want to look into what LFZ mentioned, that sounds pretty good. Mine is an intercooled Procharger. Fits perfect with a Dewitts radiator. Drives like stock until I unleash it.

I had the Edelbrock on my Camaro with all the other bolt ons. I also had a cam in it. I was at 684 RWHP. I'm thinking Edelbrock again because of warranty. I think 658 HP in a Z06 will kick a$$. Stock is good but supercharged is great...
