Mrs. Blur fueled the fire... (Possible SS Supercharged Build) - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

She may have suggested that a supercharger would be a good idea after these college loans are finally gone. Who am I to disagree?

I'm now considering my options. The goal is to have a powerful daily driver. As it stands, the L99 is pushing headers and an intake. With forced induction, I'm seeing a lot of kits all over the place and need some help sorting out the stats. I'm not trying to make my SS a weekend-only car. It will still be a daily driver after forced induction.

The idea is to get the most reliable setup possible. Obviously, I also want to beat the snot out of whoever wants to meet at the strip. Discuss.

Procharger F1-X! Run low boost on stock motor. Then when it's time for more..it's just a pulley change away.

I didn't build mine (bought it already setup). It is an ECS kit with all of the goodies. If I were building something more of a daily driver, I would probably go PD blower. The centri is awesome...above 3500RPM. In reality, I spend 99% of my time between 1500 and 2500RPM. Of course, once the 4L80E goes in, I plan on using all 850RWHP at the track (until I break more stuff and the wife takes the keys away from me)!

If I was going to put a super charger on a SS I would install a Heartbeat. I have had 3 different superchargers on my Camaro and owned 2 other cars with superchargers. I'm partial to the roots type blowers and think the Heartbeat is the best available right now.

If I was in your shoes, with nothing on the car, I would be looking real hard at the AGP turbo kit. I must admit that their Camaro kit seems to really give you a lot of power for the money and with the ability to use a boost controller, you can make it as docile as you want without a pulley swap.

Agreed with Jess. Stock AGP kit just made 1030rwhp with base turbos still not pushing it too hard. For the price of a kit that can make 500-1100rwhp without adding any upgrades I dont think it can be beat.

+1 Turbas

SLP TVS2300, drivability is same as stock. You can stop with the basic kit until you get power hungry...and you will.

What would it make if you pushed it real hard? 1500?, More?

And that's on a non loaded dyno with just the small lighter roller. That car under actual load I assure you makes 5% more total power and makes it 1000rpm sooner.

Those turbos are close to maxed out there. Turned up all the way on a loaded dyno that car would do easy 1100+whp. But those are just the base size turbos.
