Default Considering Supercharger

I am currently running close to 450 rwhp with Gt11 cam, cnc ported heads, ported throttle body, ported intake, headers, and 4.10 gears. Would I be crazy to add a supercharger?

Do it. How do you like the GT11? What springs are you running?

I love the cam. It's a bit of a sleeper but comes on strong at about 3500 to 4000. I'd have to ask Tom Wong which springs he went with but I know they were double springs with titanium retainers. They should be good for 600 hp.

You're still good for the $4995 price I quoted you.
I'll just need to know by tomorrow to honor the discount.
You'll have a killer setup!

I had a very similar setup to yours. I just added a procharger. More fun than you can imagine. I love it. It is the greatest mod I've done

now that everything except the cold squeal is worked out on my A&A kit (haven't had time to try to tighten the belt yet), I can whole heartedly say its a lot of fun! The only bad thing is, you will go through rear tires quickly, as they like to break loose in 1st and 2nd gear once you go past 3500 rpms!

Wifey is not too keen on the idea so I'm going to wait a few months on this. Already put nearly 20k in mods this year so I'll respect her opinion.

Yeah, you have to pay the piper... I mean the wife. For me, it was Twin Turbos and a Z06 body kit last year, so its windows for the screened porch this year. Oh well, its all about compromise. Who knows what mods next year holds.

my last batch of mods cost me a new house and new furniture ..Actually my wife is pretty great. She encourages me. She knows everytime I drive my vette it puts a smile on my face. What a great stress reliever the procharger was

We had one customer who told his wife he was bringing his car to us (out of state...) for an oil change. Funny how it sounded different when it left our shop. Bob
