Default Best Super Charger kit

So what is the best bang for the buck supercharger kit offered here?
17 GS vert with the Grand Sport Performance package and a dry sump system, system with tuner - using factory filter box with high flow filter and factory NPP exhaust.

Any ideas? Am interested in easy install with best reliability.

From what I've heard and read, you can't go wrong with either a Procharger or a Whipple.

What are you wanting out of the car. A/A, ECS, PROCHGER I love the cut gear sound on the prochger set up.

I did the A/A due to the aftermarket balancers you get with it, Then the new brackets & new better tensioner set up on the A/A.

Me my self I would never put a top mount blower on these cars again ever. I went thur that heat soak set up in the past. Plus a lot of guys in here have pulled the one's off the z06 & went with one of the three I have named here. Best bang for the buck front mount. Robert

2017 is different from 2014/2016 for many reasons. Tuning credits cost more and auto trans parameters are limited. PCV routing has also changed from the 3 prior years so a 16 kit will not necessarily work on a 17. You are not going to find a simple bolt on kit with a tuner for a 2017 Grand Sport as of today. I am building a 2017 Grand Sport right now but my customer is in over 100K. Nothing but the best and all custom.

We offer a complete kit for your vehicle along with a replacement trans cooler that others do not provide to my knowledge. Feel free to contact us if you would like to discuss this in length.

Just like what LSX Camaro posted I have not found any listing for a 2017 GS with dry sump engine. I like the A/A kit but it is stated to fit up 2015. I will make a call today and see whats up.
Nice set up btw LSX.

You really can't go wrong with A&A or ECS. If you go A&A, get the free Ti upgrade. I am using the Si and I'm kind of underwhelmed.

Like others have said, whether you go with ECS, A&A or Procharger, you can't go wrong.

I myself went with ECS because they generally put down the best dyno numbers with their design. They output more torque than the other two companies and you automatically get the mid-tier blower with them with the simple option to run low boost or higher boost.

Many people also go with Procharger due to their media presence and probably being the most well known company of the 3. They also make fantastic kits. As does A&A who has incredible customer service according to the people on this site.

I label each companies biggest strengths as this:
ECS: Biggest Power/Torque
Procharger: Biggest name out of the 3.
A&A: Best customer service.

I have done some extensive research and as of yet found nothing for a 2017 GS dry sump engine specifically. Still looking.

I ended up deciding to go with a Z06 supercharger on my Stingray...No regrets...looks totally stock and has more power than a stock Z06 due to the higher compression LT1...lots of folks selling their take off Z06 blowers at good prices...might be an option to look at..

I run the A&A kit on my 2017 GS. 3.6 pulley, Ti head unit and dual nozzle meth, lg motorsports long tubes and off road x pipe. Made 700rwhp/650rwtq. Runs fabulous and pulls very strong.

But haven't they figured out he heat soak issues on the Z06's???
An a factory setup looks really good and appears to put down good power.

I have ran Procharger and A&A. A&A in my opinion has much better quality. I have one on my 2017 GS

How does the Edelbrock compare performance wise with the Procharger or A & A?
