What's a stock supercharger worth?
Oddly, a local pawn shop has an LT4 blower fs they took on a trade. They don't want very much for it, just curious what they sell for?

2015 and 2016 versions are worth a lot less than 2017 and newer versions since the newer versions have the increased intercooler cooling with the tapered bricks that cool the intake charge more for cylinders 7 & 8. The 15 and 16 versions are probably worth scrap metal prices.

There is a market for them, they are going anywhere from 2500 to 3500 it really doesn't matter from 15/16 to 17, as far as asking price.
I'm thinking if you really want to get rid of one price it at 2000.

I have a ‘17 and if mine sells for $2500 or more plus shipping I would be ok with that. If not would just keep for backup if I ever sell the car and the new owner wouldn’t want the Procharger.

A quick look in the C7 Parts for Sale section has a ‘16 for $1800 and a ‘18 for $2000. Based on that I would have to say you could probably find them for $1600 to $2200. The shops that sells charger swaps would be a good place to look. They are great power adders for trucks as was mentioned earlier in a post above.

Sold mine (17) for $2K...
Older cars $1400 -- Newer $2200...
anything above that is a bonus for the seller.
Also depends what you're getting, if it's just the blower or if you're getting the assembly's and other parts.

Because some people still don't realize they literally are worth $0.00 from a functional standpoint. I have been looking and have definitely not purchased one. One shop had new version takeoffs complete with the remainder of the system for $2700 but they sold the 5 they had. If a brand new take off of the version is included in a system price that pretty much puts the price of the first version lower than whale dung.

No difference in between the two power wise between the 2 blowers either.

They all have value. We keep an eye out for low cost cores for porting. It's always good to have a couple on the shelf.
They also make great low cost supercharger kits for LT1 cars and Gen V trucks. We done a few installed and tuned that still cost less then a aftermarket kit from Magnuson. With the fuel system still somewhat of an issue on this platform these blowers still make tons of sense.
