We certainly appreciate her and all clients! I believe she has made great modifications to her car, and we have been blessed to help! Not to toot our own horn to loudly but we also have one of the best GM tuners in the Midwest, and experienced technicians in the country

As for the supercharger and turbo debate, this is again political but the facts are facts.
Turbo systems use exhaust gas flow and thermodynamic efficiency to produce power, they do have a small amount of spool time, however if engineered right (which 95% of people have not done their math to properly size the turbo) turbo systems will produce more power and create less stress on the motor, and it is easy to plumb the exhaust gas away from the engine so there is little to no back pressure.
Belt driven supercharger systems have their place as well, whether you talk about a magnacharger which is a positive displacement roots style blower, or a procharger, a centrifugal style blower. Now I am not really going to type up all the pros and cons here because I prefer not to debate them top much in depth on the forum due to a lot of misconceptions, however each style of supercharger system has its place for a defined purpose. I think for her the magnacharer will be the simplest and easiest solution which will be the easiest to maintain and preform a good driving experience with excellent throttle response and torque for light to light acceleration.
For fun (apples to apples), I had two C5 Z06's in at the end of last week, both we have serviced start to finish, One client has a vortech kit (centrifugal kit) with kooks long tubes, and the other has a kenne bell kit (roots blower) and kooks long tubes. Tell me which one is which, and who would win in a drag race
(I am sure this will stir up some fun
)
