ProCharger PS1 with headers, good exhaust system and a good tune should get you there. And, yes, you will probably need a better clutch sometime in the future.

Definitely give Chris and Doug a call over at ECS.
They have written the book on supercharging the C5 and C6 and can work with you to decide which options are best for you.
Please post what mods you decide to go with.

Where are you located? That will help steer you to the right tuner.

We just finished dyno tuneing a customers C5 with the ECS kit on it, nice kit with great power! Our Chris is out doing the driveability portion as I type.

As stated above the P1SC from Procharger is a good option.

That'll give you what you are looking for. Plus it will be there as you decide to go bigger.

We've gone with a P1SC kit on a LS1 with just a cam and exhaust a best of 10.30 in the quarter. Dyno numbers are nice, but proven results are where it's at.

Shoot me a PM if you have any questions.

Thanks, I appreciate it!

Check out this C6 with an ATI ProCharger P-1SC-1. Bone stock other than the ProCharger.

I went to Andy at A&A for a Vortech kit. LOVE it. 552 rwhp corrected. Kit has everything you need.
