Had an Edelbrock stage 1 Eforce put on my 2014 Z51.....Edelbrock claims 624hp, 600 ft lb tq....I didn't bother getting it dyno, but have no reason to doubt those numbers!
It's a totally different car....acceleration is amazing, and I confirmed that the rev limiter actually works the first time i drove it after the install...have about 3k miles on it and no issues at all. I would highly recommend it.

I bought an extended warranty that would be void the minute I put a supercharger on the C7 Z51, but I'd be a liar if I didn't say I've seriously thought about doing this.

Magnuson's supercharger kit with their tune does not void warranty. I can confirm this with their CEO or sales guy if needed.

I have an Edelbrock. Totally different car and a blast to drive. They will give you a 3/36 warranty.

While it says it “may” be excluded, it is very hard to argue that a supercharger does not reduce the life of an engine.

Straight from the 2019 warranty:

Vehicle warranty (non Powertrain) should stay same. Powertrain replaced by Magnuson Powertrain warranty.
He used to work with me at Eaton Corporation, Supercharger Division. He retired early (55), now works for Magnuson. I’ve been with Eaton 22 years, I believe he was with Eaton a few more then that.
Hope this clears up any questions.

C7 of Year Finalist (performance mods) 2019
Check out tickperformance.com, they have complete packages installed and tuned starting at $5,100 on a&a kits and magnason at $7,700. Great guys and not that far from you. They did my tune, I did my own install on my a&a 639whp 610tq. Over 20k miles with not a single issue.

I am curious to know what type of WHP a base ECS or A&A kit with no alky or headers or anything would put down. I have searched but can't find any solid results. I am hoping close to 550whp on a low temp day.

My a&a kit is 9.5psi with 3.47 pulley (639whp, 610tq), with the 3.8 pulley I saw 8psi (606whp, 569tq). I believe the 4.0 pulley is 7 psi. No results wth 4.0 as I never ran that. I run meth single with 3.8 pulley, duel with 3.47. No headers, but ported stock manifolds, x-pipe and momo ported TB.
