After long consideration think I'm pulling the trigger on a A&A supercharger for my 14 c7. Done the research and feel great about installer, but still a bit nervous.. Warranty concerns, long term SC effect on car.. Not being a gear head Kinda outside my comfort zone.. I'm sure I will be feeling great after the install and cruising down the street..

I've thought about it but nowhere near pulling the trigger as I'm uninformed. Would love the extra hp.

My feeling about supercharging, or any mod really, is if it does break the warranty and I can't afford to or don't want to deal with paying to fix it, then I won't do it. I'm considering supercharging my car too, but I understand that the whole thing could take a crap and it would be on me to fix it, but I'm ok with that. I've read really good things about the A&A Kit and it's one of two in my final running.

If you're uncomfortable with that idea, I would recommend skipping the sc and just enjoying the tremendous amount of power the car already has.

Just out of curiosity, are you just installing a supercharger or are you doing supporting mods (upgraded fuel pump, forged pistons, h/c, etc.)?

I realize that the engine can take a certain amount of boost and the driveline can handle a certain amount of increased horsepower, but I think just adding a supercharger (assumption based on the lack of detail in your post) is going to turn your car into a ticking time bomb.

Exactly.

1 of hundreds of motors blew up. That's fairly low odds.

Are you scared ? worried about long term things ? But want more power?

I heard the Z06 comes with a supercharger, has factory warranty, has proper tires and suspension.

I'm looking at procharger.They have 3-4 different catogories that you can dial it in to.
Probably more money with that option,but what the heck I don't want to die with money in my pocket,lol.

I ran an A&A on my C6 and it worked very well. You got auto or manual? Mine was an auto and we could never get the tranny to shift because the boost would blow right by the shift point and nail the rev limiter.

I just did LG headers, ported intake and throttle body, and AFE. Very happy. Car is much quicker and sounds amazing. Might be a less intrusive approach if the blower still scares you.

In my opinion I'd do a conservative setup. Whatever you can get from a conservative tune and nothing that requires meth to keep from grenading.

dvilin

That would be the way to get it all.

This.

I've got a 14 auto that I supercharged. With a proper tune it will drive like stock. I've had mine on for several thousand miles and no issues at all. My car is stock other than the supercharger. I went with the a&a kit. 4" pulley.
I had a local tuner tune it, but didn't care for his tune too much, so I had Chuck cow retune it. Now it runs amazing and is as reliable as stock.

check my thread on the forced induction forum, just put it on myself:

Forget the maintenance nightmares that can come up -- what exactly do you plan to do with that extra power? Unless you're drag racing the thing, I honestly don't understand why anyone would want that much more power. If you really, really need more than 460 hp on the street (or even on a road course) for some reason, I would go the NA route, personally.

Made me think of this





I say do it. You only live once and I've never seen a brinks truck following a hearse!

I, like the OP was also apprehensive about doing the S/C setup. But after months of research, questions and conversations I decided to pull the trigger and do the S/C with Meth. What I did find was that 100's and 100's of people have done the same work with very reliable shops and have had 0 problems. Every now and again you hear about a motor blowing. The fact is sometimes stuff blows up. Maybe it had a defect from the factory and it was just its time. Now I'm not saying to do it or not, all mods have a certain risk involved but blown motors are far and few between. If you do decide to pull the trigger use a good product and a reliable proven shop who has done plenty of S/C setups. Just my 2 cents.

It also overheats and is significantly more expensive. I'd rather mod my Stingray personally.
