Default Supercharger question

Here's the deal.next year im shopping for a low milage a 07 vert. I told myself i would never get into building or fabracation of cars again.a stock c6 or c5 vert is good enough for me.my question is what is to expect from a base supercharger set-up on a o7 vert auto.i will not be tracking at all.just cruising around with alittle stomp every now and then to get the rocks off.the car will be all stock except for wheels and cat-backs.asking about reliability and compared tp other stock sports car's.(c6z,c5z,ect,ecy) thanks al..ps will call that ecs joint in nj when ready..

You should expect miles of smiles!! (and maybe some tire wear)

Feel free to call if you would like to discuss this in length.

You will easily gain enough hp to put 500+ to the rear wheels. The car will be just as driveable on a daily basis as it is stock once it is properly tuned. I have an A&A V2 Si kit that's been on for 9 months and 2500 miles and have had no issues with it at all. I did do some tweaking to the A6 with HP Tuners but everything else is as is after the dyno tune. You won't regret supercharging.

Yup! And you'll want to go R-compound to make the most of those tires when the weather is good.
