Default OK Newbie question

OK I have a 2006 C6 LS2. It has the following
Magna Supercharger
AFR225 Heads
Cam is done (don't have specs with me)
Hook Headers and electronic cut offs

The throttle body is the factory one, if I were to change it, to a larger one 105mm would I notice a difference? I am being told by some that the supercharger is the bottleneck and I wouldn't get anymore by changing it?

How can I find out with out a PSI guage what PSI the charger is running at? What is the maximum I can get out of this charger?

What mods can I do that will give me additional HP?

I can't answer your question but if I had a C6 with a blower, heads, cam and headers and it was running good I would leave it alone. That's just me. I know we always want more hp. Good luck.

The throttle body is starting to give error codes, and I end up driving in reduced power mod. I clear the error codes and the car drives absolutely amazing, and shocking excellent on fuel when I ain't stepping on it.

It is going into the shop so I figure I might aswell do some additional mods to increase the HP. Just don't know what yet.

1st we need to know what Maggie it is 112, 122 or the TVS. Check the pulley size and pulley it down that will get you more PSI which will = more wrhp/tq. However, to get all the anwers you want and than some for anything F1/Supercharger, go to the F1 section of the fourm. There's a link on the left hand side of the page. Hope this helps..
