Superchargers - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

blaki · 04-30-2013, 03:04 PM

I'm thinking about supercharging my Camaro.
I have a 2010 2SS , L99 with approx. 2500 Mi/4000 Km.
Borla Lt headers and exhaust, Air box and T1000 programer.
I'm leaning towards an under hood roots/Eaton stye Magnacharger, E-Force or other.
A local reputable shop (Dyno equipped) is recommending a centrifugal Procharger on the premiss that the roots styles are ripping off tires especially with the automatics because of boost range.
I'm just looking for a very quick street car, not into competition yet.
Any and all comments, advice, opinions, direction will be very appreciated !
THANK -YOU.

The SLP 2300 is an excellent blower. I've never heard that about a roots type. They might be BSing you. Welcome to C5.

Welcome to C5! I can't help you with you questions but there are some VERY knowledgeable folks here who, I sure, will advise you. Good luck!

Tom Henry Racing · 04-30-2013, 03:11 PM

We also recommend the SLP.

TRC-SS · 04-30-2013, 03:26 PM

I just did the New SLP TVS 2300.

With your L99 and mods you would be looking at roughly 500rwhp on a safe tune!

I recommend the ProCharger D1-SC.

Have a 2009 Pontiac G8 GT (auto) with a Procharger D1-SC (715rwhp) and a 2010 Camaro SS M6 with a Whipple 2.9 (657rwhp)

I can assure you both will smoke the tires if you get into them! I like both and believe it just comes down to your preference. That being said the Whipple is a twin screw blower which is a bit more efficient than an Eaton style Roots blower. I did my research on that piece of info.

Enjoy your build

Mchlgrrsn · 04-30-2013, 04:29 PM

They all smoke tires lol. Roots style blowers give you more boost down low. Probably what your tuner was talking about. They are all good, don't think you can make a bad choice. I will throw my 2 centz Maggie's way.
Enjoy

twin turbooooooooooooooooo

I went with the Maggie as well. Either way you cant go wrong. Like others have said, it all comes down to personal preference.

Birm · 04-30-2013, 05:04 PM

By ripping off tires I assume they mean you are spinning all over the place? Plenty of cars run the roots or twin screw without issue. I personally like a centri, I like to be able to drive around like its not there but when I want it it screams to life.

I was pushing 700+ @ the wheel on my DD with the ECS SC. Any kinda FI is an improvement over stock. For me, driveability was key, so a centri (ECS-Paxton) was the one I went with and I couldnt be happier.

litle88 · 04-30-2013, 05:09 PM

Roots type do produce more TQ down low off idle.

D1sc's are more linear, they are all gonna burn up those tires.

TRC-SS · 04-30-2013, 06:20 PM

All tires can be changed to prevent "ripping them off"

My P Zeros were junk with the Supercharger. Switched to VReds and have had zero traction issues.

I can drive that way with my Maggie, even with 4.10 gears-- just gotta be easy on the throttle (<20% or so, so the bypass valve stays open and doesn't create boost, but push it just a little bit more and the instant torque is there; love it!
