Default 08 Supercharged A6 vette

I was wondering if anyone here has gotten the LS3 supercharged on an auto yet and if so was it worth it. I will have to wait 3 years until the warranty is up. But that is what I'm saving for.

Worth every penny. Pro Charger is the way I went .With my mods I dynos 540 to rear wheels. I did but on Z06 long tube headers with borla exhaust. also. Car is a rocket. I do recommend wider tires, stiffer sway arms and better brakes also. what good is power if you cant control it

I think Andy at A&A Corvette has an '08 LS3 A6 with his SC kit on it. You can always call A&A or PM him.

HI:

We have had a LS3 A&A Supercharging system here in the shop. Big power gain and stock drivability. Just add a nice header system and mufflers and you have a beautiful sleeper.

Why wait for warranty to run out. The Corvette has no major problems with mechanics of the vehicle. Quality is number one. Besides when the warranty runs out in 5 years just think what you are missing in that time. Just my 2 cents.

Chris

I wouldn't worry too much about warranty. If you have a problem with your drive train, just remove the supercharger, put everything back to stock, then bring it to the dealer. They probably won't know unless you really blow your engine due to high boost.

I'm sure you are not suggesting......

to commit fraud by misrepresenting the fact that you had alternate hardware installed, but not informing the dealer?

We just finished work on a A&A Supercharged 08 w/ an A6.

Owner loves it, and it is seriously fast!

I am just suggesting the advantage of a supercharger vs a twin turbo.

It has been done more than a few times. Warrenty shouldnt be too much of a problem either. I have a few connections at local dealers if anything ever went wrong with your car. Im a couple hours away from you and have a few c6z's in the shop now with blowers on them. They are nice
