A&A Vortech Superchargers!-$6599 INSTALLED!
A&A Vortech Superchargers!-$6599.99 INSTALLED!
-Includes PLUGS, TUNE, & everything!
-Drop off your car.. wait a few days.. and get BLOWN!
-Average increase is approximately 175 RWHP on a STOCK CAR!
-100% smog/CARB Legal
-Available for all 97-2012 Vettes!
This is a Dyno sheet of a BONE Stock C5 Before and After
The A&A Supercharger kit brings you dramatic increases in power while not degrading everyday drivability or highway gas mileage! The system utilizes a large blow off valve that remains open at cruise and light throttle. This, essentially, allows the supercharger to “freewheel” under normal conditions, reducing parasitic loss to less than that of an alternator.
A naturally aspirated engine would require higher compression, a very aggressive camshaft, high flow cylinder heads with heavy duty valvetrain, exhaust headers with free flowing exhaust, larger throttle body, high flow intake manifold, free flowing air filter housing and duct, etc. Most of these parts are NOT emissions legal. The price of these components alone is higher than a supercharger system. The labor to install these is also much higher. Then there are the inherent problems brought to the vehicle by such a build. A large camshaft all but ruins everyday drivability AND gas mileage. Driving in traffic becomes a very trying experience. A stick shift car will buck and surge and an automatic car will be hard to hold back because of the increased idle speed required. Low speed torque is reduced with an aggressive camshaft which will require lower differential gearing and a high speed stall torque converter (automatic cars) to make up for it. This further degrades drivability and gas mileage. With all the components required for a high performance naturally aspirated car, the degradation in drivability and gas mileage, the total inability of the vehicle to pass emissions tests and the added expenditure, the vehicle would STILL have up to 100HP less than a stock Corvette with one of our standard systems bolted on.
Average increase TO THE REAR WHEELS is approximately 175 RWHP! No other modification, in this price range, even comes close.
A&A Corvette Performance manufactures top quality supercharger systems exclusively for C5 (1997- 2004) and C6 (2005- 2010) Corvettes including Z06.
Our systems have evolved into the most efficient and cost effective superchargers available today.

Yup... superchargers have alot of benefits over a cam/heads setup...
#1-Better Drivability
#2-Easier Smogability WHICH IS IMPORTANT as the CA Smog ***** are getting tougher.
#3-Easier Install and removal if you want to turn the car back to stock
#4-Better gas mileage...
So why would someone want a cam over a blower?
#1-Cheaper
#2-Depending on the blower.. .power/ TQ band could better with a cam.
.... honestly... my last 3 cars have been blown and I would rather have a blown car

Why mess with cams, heads, and long tube headers when you can get emissions legal performance with a Supercharger! Adding a supercharger over a big cam also will help retain the drivability of your car

with Mike. Another shop installed mine with 50/50 methanol on the Vortech on a A&A bracket. I had it tuned at another shop and the results on a bone stock LS2 is 561RWHP/497RWTQ through an A4 tranny.
A supercharger is the best way to go and Mike has a great price for this extra power and he is local.

My '05 A4 passed smog with better numbers than it did before the supercharger was installed. Only thing I had to swap was the oil filler cap because my SC oil cap had a ventted filter on it. Didn't want to take a chance of failing a visual...
TPS has this great price on purchase and install.

Imo there's no better way to increase hp than a supercharger. They have great drivability, passes emissions easily, and make great power and is safe. We just had a customer sell his cammed c5z and brought in his C5 vert for a supercharger.....he's a lot happier with his new setup because his driveability is A LOT better and he no longer has to worry about smog issues.
Wish there was someone like you back then putting out the word on how to do it right the first time to save money and time.
At your price it is very affordable to get the feel of very good HP.

In my opinion that is absolutely the truth. My first time around I didn't know better and wasted alot of money on parts and installs because I didn't know better and wasn't told what was the best way to gain HP and stay smog legal.

A lot of people want to build a race car and drive it on the street which people eventually get tired of. We prefer to build great street cars that people can take to the track any time they want while never having to worry about passing emmissions

Have you done any D1SC to Vortech conversions? D1SC = no EO number.
I know you're doing A&A, but a minimal parts conversion to trade Procharger to Vortech with Cartek bracket and flip drive would be interesting.
