ZZZorro

So I'm new to supercharging - been reading a bit here and there online. The Corvette platform benefits from numerous manufacturers of bolt on SC's ... that's a good thing, given that these are fairly expensive i would hate to make a mistake therefore looking for suggestions from folks who have already done this and what your opinions are in regards to the various platforms of SC units - Procharger vs Whipple vs Edelbrock vs Magnuson...?
I see one of the Vendors on here is having a sale on some of these units and a fellow at RDP Victor claims that the Edelbrock is the way to go any idea on this ...?

Please comment thanks

im west coast and did ECS in here. I would not do anything besides a procharger or ECS. I like the ecs dyno sheets more and seem to give me more torque due to there setup. If you view many dyno sheets you will see this as well. I was going to get a procharger but im not Okay with paying the nearly $600 extra or whatever it is just to have a BLACK ONE. Talk about bullshit when ECS comes black stock.

I would not personally choose any besides those two but im happy with my ECS because my engine bay looks "kinda" stock and living in california having a procharger with a huge air intake is a dead give away to hood popping happy cops. ECS is a smooth power delivery while procharger dynos look like they come in more like turbo power towards the end.

And ZZZorro of course someone selling only one brand of supercharger is gona claim its the best. Dont listen to any salemen lol

So I have a local speed shop here in my area who will do Stainless Works long tubes, high flow cats, X pipe for a very, very, very good price - also, doing ECS kit for $5400 thought that was a tad high - any thoughts...?

Also, what should an average install cost approx for both these units...?

Thoughts on the best CAI for C7 StingRay ...?

Sounds like based on your last post you are leaning toward a centrifugal. The big three A&A, ECS and Procharger are quality units. If you think you might want more power in the future I would opt for the larger head unit offered. A&A would be a TI, Procharger would be the D1X. These two are similar to the base head unit 1500 ECS offers. This is one of the reasons you see dyno differences between the manufactures because it is not a apples to apples comparison.

I'm glad that it is known that we start with the larger head unit with our base kit, we feel it "fits" better and obviously is more upgradable down the line.

Thank you to those with our supercharger kit or considering it, we greatly appreciate it!

We use the ECS Novi 1500 kits primarily on vehicles like yours looking for a good jump in power at a value. The kits are extremely high quality with literally everything needed for a complete install and work very well on stock or lightly modified cars. The restrictor plate design works well also in keeping mid-range torque, and the ability to upgrade to a larger head unit for more power down the road is very simple with their systems. You really can't go wrong with any of them, but for a bang for the buck setup the ECS gets my vote

I am pretty much in your same shoes right now. I have Kook LT's with catless mid pipe, halltech CAI, and MSD intake manifold. I have been throwing the idea around of doing a cam and supercharger kit. I have heard great things about the ECS Kit and Procharger Kits. A lot of people swear by the ECS kits and a lot of shops speak highly of them. I think when the time comes that's the kit I will choose. Especially the simple head upgrade, cause we all know you always want more power eventually. Also what is the totally cost for the kit and install at your local shop plus tuning. Is 5400 just the cost for the kit?

Be sure to check out A&A before you buy anything.. Really..

what do you plan on doing with the car? You're not providing much info for us to go on here.

Put a base kit on it and leave it for ~560-600 rwhp?
Do some track days but want a bit more power and worried about cooling?
Do 580 rwhp now but hope for more in the near future?
Maybe move to california?
Ability to easily return car to stock without having to re-buy parts?
Want a smooth linear powerband that screams up top?
Want a torque shove at 2k rpm + meaty tires to handle it?

All these questions will define which kit to use.
