I have 05 c6 and I have added CAI, headers, BTR stage 1 cam, axle back exhaust. Still not enough Hp. Trying to decide to either go with turbo or supercharging. Any thoughts? what brand works best with the C6 too?

SK '08

Just for the voting aspect, I would pick turbo. Less parasitic losses when compared to supercharging. That is a big reason why many manufacturers go with turbos from the factory.

Patriot Six

Turbos are expensive, have heat issues, and do not fit well in a C6. Unless you are looking for 1200+whp, a supercharger is much cheaper and more reliable for a C6.

Supercharger is easier to install on a C6

If you look in the "Forced Induction" threads, you'll get more information. However, with the space restrictions inside the engine bay, Turbos require more work to setup. There are a couple options, but usually require some creative mounting and creative pipe routing. A supercharger is more straight forward on the Corvette. There's tons of research you'll want to do, but there are kits availible from all the major manufacturers for both supercharger setups and turbo setups, both single and twin.

It's never going to be enough power... Unless you just go this route right off the bat, forget the turbos, surcharger, nitro, etc...

I promise you'll be all set!

I've had both, and much prefer a supercharger. Be very aware, though, that it's not as simple as bolting on a part. Someone recently gave some excellent advise: build from the outside toward the engine. With significantly more power you're going to need bigger tires and maybe a wide body kit, better brakes, MUCH better cooling, better exhaust, and maybe even a new hood. That last item can be particularly annoying because aftermarket hoods are notoriously ill-fitting. I went with the Edelbrock E-Force supercharger because it fits under the stock hood and thus saved me at least $1,500. Be sure to choose your tuning specialist carefully.

Assuming the power and gas mileage claims are true, I've looking really hard at a STS dual turbo setup.

Contact A&A Corvette Performance (Oxnard, CA)...they make a great supercharger specifically for Corvettes. I put their supercharger on my 2012 C6 and it's a blast to drive. They have different set ups to achieve your hp targets....just my 2 cents

Good luck!

Either has the capability to produce big hp. Turbos are nice, pricey and can be trouble prone. Superchargers cost less than turbo and much easier for the masses. At one time I considered twins but I came to my senses and stuck with what I had.

How much for the Edelbrock supercharger? how much Hp?

Supercharging just makes sense until you want to go big. If you just want a fun car that probably has more horsepower than you can use on the streets, slap on a supercharger kit from ECS, A&A or ATI at 6 to 10 lbs of boost and call it a day. Which one really doesn't matter, it is more about who does your work if you are not capable of doing it yourself. They will tell you which one they are more familiar with, let that be your deciding factor. If you will be doing the work, you should need us to tell you which one to pick.......

How much Hp should I expect from supercharging my c6. I already have some mods? Veraram CAI, BTR stage1 cam, headers and axle back exhaust.

my 05 car with A&A V3 SI trim makes 650rwhp.yesterday at the track car went 10.10 with a 1.39 60ft driving into a wicked head wind.put a hurtin on 2 Demon's that were there.it was a great day for me.the supercharger's are a much better fit versus turbo in C6 engine bay

Mike's LS3

Great times in both 1/4 and 0-60'. What tires are you running on the track?

My buddy has a Hellcat and his best 11.6 in 1/4. I believe he achieved that taking off in 2nd gear. That's not bad on stock undersized 275 rear tires. He raced a Demon at the track, the inexperienced Demon driver could not break 11"s.

OP: As others have already mentioned, supercharging is a better option for the corvette. The choices, simplicity and cost are much more favorable. Power will be plenty, I would throw caution on launches with that 05 diff.

I should rephrase "refrain from launches" for just that reason. I agree, upgrade the diff before it fails taking the transmission with it.

The Edelbrock supercharger kit comes in a 544 & a 599 hp option for roughly 7.5k. The A&A & ECS units are slightly cheaper than the Edelbrock unit, Do the research & take your time as there are many options for superchargers
