To Supercharge Or Not To Supercharge? - Page 4 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I'm actually in the same boat right now. I'm looking at going N/A for 500rwhp and would love to do some road course (not a ton) every now and then, but I would also like to take the car cross country and it be reliable. I've just ordered my ARH long tubes, but I haven't had them installed yet and thought about heads and cam. Then my mind twists another direction and I read posts about the Magnuson Heartbeat supercharger and I start to want that. XD Ugh. The choices.

Yep, I went the same way, then ADM came out with the prototype kits... Had to do that!

Drove it to the fest, and it ran like a champ. Properly done, a good sc kit will do that...

I had ADM do my LSA conversion on my LS3 with stock cats and stock ZL-1 airbox. Dyno came in at 520rwhp. This is a great way to start and you can add more stuff later if you want.

I have been to 44 states so far with my Camaro around 700 RWHP. Not one problem on any of my trips except a speeding ticket. Lol
