If you are in the market, PM me if you'd want a Magnacharger with maybe 200 miles on it.

Best part I like is if you drive it normally (long as you can!!) with brands like Whipple & bypass valve system, you barely notice any increase in gas until you stand on it, then watch that gauge go down. In New Zealand we pay close to $10 a gallon so fuel economy is important over here as well as performance too!

These car's are too heavy and the level of play on the street is too advanced to mess around n/a. Losing races to skateboards and mopeds isn't fun and doesn't really help the Camaro5 community street cred.
600whp is just starting to get fun on these cars. Set a goal of 800 and get started.

If you'd like my next little tidbit of wisdom. Don't start with a supercharger at all. Twin Turbo it and be happy.

No need for built motor to make 700-800rwhp. Don't even have to take off the valve covers or TB.

No matter what supercharger /turbocharger system you use it is not enough .Just make sure that the car .And especially you are prepared for it. Both in horsepower and in the pocket book.Just work into it slowly , I have seen people hit too hard,and lose control of the car.But it fun as well. Mine got better gas milage because the engine doesn`t have to work as hard. Its your decision ,good luck to you.

I've only had my car a few months, but with all the excitement surrounding the mods everyone has added, it really makes me want to supercharge!

I'm feeling that itch too. I've only had mine 3 weeks and have already read the install instructions for the Magna Charger and the Turbonetics kits, the only 2 boost kits I have found with "2013" EO numbers for use in CA so far.

Camonster · 07-07-2013, 10:22 PM

With sc, new headers, ZL1 fuel pump, CAI... I could already be looking at close to $10,000 in mods, and that is far out of my budget. Then I'm sure once I have those things, I'll want more. There is always more...

Unreal · 07-07-2013, 10:32 PM

Twin turbo, $7500 or less, more power, no need for headers, cai, etc. Comes with fuel pump/injectors/etc.
