Vola, there's +500hp for around 11K
skip the maggie, its been proven many times that centrifugal chargers make more power through the entire power band on the ls series, and they make alot less heat, making them more reliable

Hey Noah or Brian, How about another update, if that's possible?

^ i remember seeing a dyno sheet on corvetteforum.com of and overlay of the 2 at the same boost level (the centri was a paxton), and the paxton made more hp and tq everwhere, from where the chart started to where it ended.
unfortunatly i can't find that thread right now, i remember the thread started with a different subject and then some how changed to the whole supercharger debate, and i don't remember the title of the thread.
however, contact AAcorvettes or ECS and ask them

I personally think that the best fitting option for this swap is a roots style blower. Plenty of room upder that strut bar.
Sorry for not updating the thread....i bought a 93 rx7 and have been daydreaming about what to do to that car

well as far as i know my car should be out of there in a week. He got the headers back and everything should be finished/working as of now.
If you came into enough money you can just buy my Z

sounds crazy, me personally would have gone with a jdm swap. Something that makes a lot of power and is still able to keep the factory weight. something like this
