You can't buy brains
So I went to a local cruise-in sponsored by the Porsche club and the editor of their newsletter asked all about my car and told me how he is building two other Porsches. I thought it was pretty neat and didn't think much of it til my friend handed me a copy of the newsletter today. The caption next to the pic said that I "supercharged the car which is now putting down 375 hp at the wheels". I have the stealth supercharger option??? My mods are in my sig and I will post a pic once I figure it out on this IPad

Translation: a "car guy" who owns several Porsche cars and is supposedly rebuilding/building two on his own, spoke at length with our fellow Camaro owner about said Camaro...and learned nothing. The op's car is NOT supercharged. In other words the Porsche owner knows nothing about cars, or heard nothing that was said about the Camaro.

Exactly what towsuf94 said. Stupid iPad won't upload the pic of my engine bay. I talked to him for a good 15 minutes about all the Pfadt suspension, CAI intake, Vmax throttle body, etc, and never once did I mention supercharger or 375 haha

Your first mistake was talking to someone from the press, even if they claimed to be a "car Guy"
Your second mistake was to believe that someone from the press has a clue what they're talking about. |

Weakest supercharger mod to date, makes less horsepower than stock.

Hahaha that is true. I deal with newspapers regularly and I'm 0-14 on stories being correct.
