Maggie is prolly the best bang for the buck. Up to about 700rwhp then everything goes out the window.

LS3 or L99?
Depends on your goals... how much power do you want?

With 10k you can make a pretty reliable 500rwhp car.

You've got a lot of choices in the 500-600 rwhp range. Lysholm, Magnusson, Edelbrock, Vortech, kenne belle, and whipple all make units for the LS3/L99 Camaros. I think all of these are 2.3 liter superchargers.

Harrop also makes a 1.9 liter supercharger that might be a good fit for you too depending on how much power you ultimately want to make.

All of these units are between $5-8K depending on what you go with.

Another option you may want to look at: SLP makes a repackaged magnuson 2.3 supercharger. And since it's SLP, if you have it installed through a GM dealership, they'll warranty it.

Have you considered building up? You don't really have enough money to go full bolt on, conversion, cam and supercharger then factor in labor, but I would really recommend that you do:

headers (7/8 since you are going blower)
cai (blower friendly)
tune (jannetty racing)
ls3 conversion (jannetty racing)
blower cam (jannetty racing)
and a new differential with gears (jannetty)

Once you got that built up you'll be in the 430-440 N/A range and a blower will be able to easily get you into the 600s with 8psi, but remember once you start getting near that 600rwhp mark you're going to have to get new fuel pump and injectors, which are pretty expensive. Then sooner or later you're going to have to build up suspension as things begin to break.


Really gotta think... 500rwhp is easy, but 600+ is where it becomes very expensive.

I highly recommend a complete Vortech V3 package from Jannetty Racing.
Great power and the price is right in your budget. Plus Ted does great calibration work and his customer service is second to none.
With supporting mods your auto. equipped car can lay down 600rwhp nicely.
Ted does this on a daily basis and loves his job!

He better think about upgrading his tranny if and when he hits the 600rwhp range.

Nah. Trans will be fine over 600. Getting near 700 is where you got to worry.
What craps out real quick is differential and if you get sticky tires... axles.
I have been running slicks on street 6xx rwhp, and have yet to have trans slip at all or any issues.
Then again it has lots to do with your foot and how much you abuse the car.

The ECS kit is pretty hard to beat for the price.
