Thinking about a supercharger. - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I've got a 2010 Camaro SS L99 that I'm contemplating putting a supercharger.

I've currently got a Cold Air intake, long tube headers, high flow cats, and a full exhaust.

I know if I want BIG HP numbers I'm going to have to upgrade fuel but my question is, what kind of boost or HP numbers can stock fuel hold? is it worth the investment of a supercharger (I've got a line on a really good deal) if I'm fairly stock beyond that? I would like to make 500-550 whp, is that possible?

I think that cam, intake manifold and better throttle body will cost you a cheaper way to 500 HP.

With supercharger to get 500 RWHP you would likely need a ZL1 fuel pump and injector upgrades

You can probably get an extra 100hp on the stock fuel stuff. Just go for it! You can always upgrade your stuff later as you go.

I got 600hp on a zL1 pump. Had add a pump to get more out of it.

I was at 95% duty cycle at 6900rpm with stock injectors and just over 500rwhp. Threw on fic 850cc's, and made 525rwhp at 7600rpm at 40% duty cycle. Stock pump still holding on with 93 octane. Note fwiw: (This is NA though)
