Very mild tune.
Right now i've got about 580hp crank and 495 to the wheel. with this setup and with a aggressive tune i'd say 600-620hp but right now the tune is very mild.
I'm considering a supercharger but would like advice from others who have either done this or know others who have done this to their LS3 camaro.
I'm thinking an SLP supercharger and about 10-12psi. But I want to be super sure about doing this before I ever decide to take any course of action with Forced Induction as I know I still have lots to research.

Blakells,
three years ago, I put a supercharger on my 2008 Mustang V6 AT. While I am not a mechanic, I bought a SC kit from a small company in California. The gearheads at work assured me if I took my time (having shown them the PDF plans before plunging) I should be okay, they being familiar with my abilities.
Over the course of five days, the heavy work was complete. I was warned by an engineer not to turn the key without the canned tune sent by email. This is extremely important as you could damage your engine. Once I took her to the Pro Shop for the custom tune, she ran like a champ. Went from 210 hp to nearly 350 hp!
Blakells, if you truly want a supercharger, I say go for it. This is the most fun I ever had with an automobile.
A couple of things: look to upgrade your engine pulley with a high quality one. The gearheads on here know what I am talking about.
Take your time and do a lot of research before buying.
Cost will include special tune, a new pulley (as mentioned), plugs, etc.
Make sure the proper fuel grade is in your tank.
Your gas mileage will diminish (who cares, you have a supercharger).
Your face will literally hurt from the smile on your face.
Research. Research. Research.
good luck,
JKHolman
