To Supercharge or not to Supercharge.... - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

My build thread shows the ADM LSA kit install. ADM has kit specials at times. I believe there was a complete kit for just over 4k recently. Install yourself and get a remote tune and your going to be below 5k.

Ck with Andy from ADM about the kit and install. You may be surprised...

Then why not an ecs kit? They're 6k and come with all of your fueling. Just get a dyno tune and you're golden

This.....if your set on supercharging, the ECS kit is a great rout, low cost, and it will produce some killer power.

I have the Tvs2300 as well. New style

My car is my daily. I was always under the impression that supercharging a motor puts ALOT of stress on it...thoughts?
I didnt buy a 6.2L V8 for good gas mileage but how is the impact on the mpg from a supercharger?
What is the meaning behind "stages" whats the difference?
What other considerations should I take?

If it varies from what exactly you get, I was looking at the SLP stage 1, edelbrock 15960 stage 3, and I looked at some prochargers.

Welcome,

Supercharging is the most Reliable way to make a major change in power without losing all the creature comforts your used to.

We are a dealer for almost all brands of superchargers, and turbos, feel free to give me a call to discuss your goals for your car and discuss all the hows and whys.

I can answer all of your questions and guide you on a path to success with reliability.

Ted.

I had an LSA put on mine a month ago. I've been getting service vehicle soon light on mine since the supercharger was put on. So far I can't track it down. While mine is faster, I really don't see it that much on the street. If I had to do it over again, I would not have spent the money.

I put a blower on mine and 2 weeks later the engine blew up. And I'd still do it again.

I hope you have good luck with your next one and it lasts you many years.

As far as I'm concerned, I might as well have taken the money I spent and lit it on fire in the drive way. I had a small budget and decided I could get an LSA kit. It has ended up costing me more than my budget and I know I'm not done.

I always tell people, set a budget and then double it, and then plan on spending more still. If you honestly thought you could spend X number of dollars and be done, then you either didn't read enough build threads, or someone steered you in the wrong direction. There is always more money spent after the initial wad dump....

The accuracy of this is annoying. Lol

Kinda like spending 8k for a nice complete blower setup. And then another 9 on new engine and clutch. Lmao
