Default Edelbrock Supercharger

I am thinking about adding a supercharger to my Ron Fellows Z06. I like the looks of the Edelbrock system also I do not want to change the hood, any pros or cons or recommendations?

I came close to choosing it . But the heads and entire intake /exhaust shortcomings sent made me choose H/C first. It still seems tied with prochargers same low boosted setup.

I would look into a procharger. They just unveiled a new unit at SEMA that has adjustable boost that you control from inside the car. Pretty cool.

With our high compression, is it wise to supercharge...?

Have you done any mods to your ls7? I agree with NHRA. If you value your engine address all its weaknesses adding 100 rw is ok beyond that pistons crank clutch,well the list is long and pricey. But better then a blown engine.

We installed and sold alot of A&A and Edelbrock Superchargers so I think I can offer a unbiased opinion on both. I've had the pleasure of driving both and they both as a BLAST to drive. Some of the fastest 100% smog legal street cars I've driven that we've built were A&A powered C6Z's

Edelbrock (Pros and Con)
-Optional Drivetrain warranty available
-Great lowend TQ
-More expensive than most other supercharger kits for the C6Z
-Looks OEM
-100% 50 State legal
-VERY Reliable
-Drives like a stock car unless you really get into boost.
-Includes tune.


A&A Supercharger (Pros and Con)
-Best bang for the buck for a Corvette Supercharger
-Includes Dewitts Radiator
-Pending 50 State Smog Certification
-VERY Reliable
-Drives like a stock car unless you really get into boost.
-More RWHP than Edelbrock
-Less RWTQ at lower RPMs.. BUT it will still have over 400RWTQ at the lower RPMS which is pretty damn good on a stock car.
