Supercharger ls2

I have a stock 07 coupe (LS2) Looking to add a supercharger. What kind of SC and other associated cost ie; SC & labor, wider fenders, new hood, paint, tires and wheels ... etc. am I looking at? Do you think I can get this done for around 11K and still be happy with results. I would like to get 500+ RWHP.

I do have vara ram, corsa exhaust w/ x-pipe

why would you need wider fenders for a supercharger?

Installed s/c will run you ~$6600.

You don't need the following:
Wider rear fenders will run you about $2000 painted and installed.
New hood - depends on the hood.
Tires and wheels - not necessary unless you're getting wider rear fenders.

Honestly, just go with a full return style fuel system & a supercharger kit. You should be able to get both done for between $8600 and $9000. You will definitely hit 500rwhp... if you get a mild blower cam, you'll still be quite a bit under 11k and you'll be closer to 600rwhp.

If you go with a centri SC or an E-Force SC, you won't need a new hood. I can tell you from personal experience that once you break the 500rwhp barrier getting the car to hook up on stock rubber is tough. I went with a wide body rear with Z06 sized tires. I, with the help of friends, did all of the labour and spent close to $15K in parts.

I had a centrifical sc from east coast supercharging on my 06 ls2. It was great. You dont need the fenders and so on but it does make the car look mean. You will need some R compounded tires. If you put in an sc you can do the rest of the modes later.

I recently saw one of the E force sc kits on an ls3 grand sport and wow it looked awsome. The brackets and hoses look like they were made by gm. The wiring looks like gm also. Its all plug and play.

That's an easy order. Give us a call tomorrow and we'll be happy to talk to you about your project. Better yet, swing by and meet us in person. I recommend that you do that to any potential tuner and go with who you feel comfortable with.

Thanks for all of your imput and suggestions ... I don't need wider fenders/tires ... BUt, I really like the look and wider tires may be in order. Besides, with the edelbrock and no wide fenders ... I guess it would be a "sleeper" LOL I guess if you spend all that money ... you want it to show it ....
