Default Question...Supercharge or Cam?

Wanted to get some advise from some of the tech. guys out there reading this. I have a 2019 Stingray Coupe but would like a bit more power out of it. I'm looking to get close to the 600 HP range but keep it as reliable as possible as this is a daily driver. Not interested in tracking or drag strip just want to keep it a sleeper with power when I need it. Again, want to keep it reliable so I would like the best choice possible that would keep excess wear & tear to a minimum.

I know there are a lot of opinions out there as to what people like but I would like to hear from those that are actually in the field and have first hand knowledge. Thanks for the help.

If you are purely just looking for power and reliability I'd say just get the 2300 heartbeat with the warranty tune. You'll be around 530 whp with a ton of torque down low which makes it a blast to daily drive. If you start getting around 600 whp the pistons on the LT1 become a liability.

I went the NA route on my C6. Supercharged the C7. Much better ride. Go with the supercharger IMO.
