I've had an A&A kit on my '02Z for about 10 years. I was at 482/432 before I installed the kit. I have had no problems other than needing to upgrade the drivetrain with well over 600 wheel now. If you use it often, things will break, especially the diff. The blower is dead reliable, but to be fair, I've had the car since new, and it only has 23k miles.
EDIT: I've said before, I would have left the car NA had I known what greater power causes. I say this because it was a ball to drive with almost 500 wheel and a badass bumpy cam sound. Still would have needed a better clutch, but the diff. might not have ended it's life as twisted scrap.

With any power adders, you will eventually find the weakest link in the chain

Thinking about supercharging anyone regret doing this .I’ll have to change a few things on my setup but pretty bored at the power level I’m at .I’d like to get close to 600 not sure but might have my heads ported while I take it apart probably change the cam to suit the blower

A lot to be said for stopping where you are. It's a sickness, I swear. The defunct magazine Corvette Fever's name is right on. I had my car in the low to mid 12s@114mph, with a tuned, just boltons, totally stock internals LS1. I wish I had stopped there. But I couldn't help myself. OP should definitely strongly consider FI. I've said many times that's what I'd do if I had to start over again. Instead, I've bought 2 different 427s, sunk 30k into them total, and unless I spring for a Quaife diff to run real sticky tires.....Anyway, I'm not complaining. I love my LS7 (except the heads!), but the ROI compared to an A&A just isnt there. Live and learn. A friend has an A&A kit on his '02 Z06. About 2 years ago, he put a very mild cam in it, I wanna say a 220°/228°, on a 118° LSA. He's currently at 635whp, still gets 26mpg freeway, has pretty much stock reliability (he's never had any issues) and can blow me off the road. What's not to like?

My blower cam is 224-232@117.5, and it really works well as far as gas mileage (still aroung 25) and added safety to my stock shortblock. Regardless, I wish I'd kept the Crane 228-232@112 I had. Even more power, and that nice lope. I found I really don't need 700 (est. FW) hp as I have never raced this car. It's also tuned rich which helps peace of mind.

I'll let you know how the jam cam works out for me this summer.

guessing somebody finally grabbed a dial caliper & protractor.
i've got a BTR PD stage 3 (231/248), and it lopes pretty good for a 120° LSA.
