To Supercharge or Not to Supercharge?
Hey everyone, I just really want to know what were the pros and cons of putting a supercharger on their camaro, such as mpg, performance, etc. etc.

So, which ones can you install and retain warrantee? I recall my dealer telling me that there are two brands which would allow this.

No cons I can think off either...
More speeding tickets maybe... But Making some 5.0s victims with ease... They equal out so I'd say go for it. |

Normally gas mileage is better, believe it or not. I'm about ready to do a Magnuson myself along with the ZR1 (LS9) camshaft and a bunch of other stuff.

I did not think that supercharging was a question of yes or no, but merely "when can I afford this?"

I'm glad I did. Pro's- fun, power, better fuel economy
Cons- if you are worried about drivetrain warranty then just don't do it. Some manufacturers offer a drive train warranty but you better read all the "not covered if's"
