Default total cost to have SC installed on C7 ?

Just upgraded to a z51 auto C7 from a C5 with Maggie. I'm going to be looking at a SC to up the power.
Daily driver and want it to stay that way! At this point I'm trying to see an estimate on total cost including install.
No looking for a dyno queen but great drivability and reliability.
I live in Myrtle Beach, SC so not sure of shops or labor rates
Suggestions???

I’m finishing up a Magnuson 2650 install right now on my 2016 Z51 Stingray. I’ve got roughly 22-23 hours into it and have approximately another 1-2 hours to go.

So while I don’t know the answer to your exact question, it gives you an idea on what it would cost based on a known hourly shop rate.

The numbers will be all over the place. I don't want to say names, but they build centrifugal superchargers, and they mentioned something about $2000 installed and tuned. This was a year ago. The kit is roughly $6500.

Most shops are 1500-2000 for a blower install not including tuning.

I’ve seen installed edlebrock for between 8 and ten I can’t remember the exact number as it’s been awhile.

for a daily driver I’d pass on the headers myself to hold the power to 100 or 150 more than stock usually with a local tune.

some guys want the most Hp whereas I would personally prefer stock durability and minimal extra service requirements.

550 or 600 hp for a stock corvette drivetrain is more than enough extra for a street car.

If you did say a Magnuson kit (more time to install than a A&A or procharger) we would be $2170 to install, plus spark plugs, fluids, tune. That's 14 hours @ $155/hr. Tune would be $650 plus credits if you are a 16+. Than add on the kit itself. If it was a centri blower kit labor would be $310 less.

Just giving you something to chew on in regards to what we would be.

When I was going down the path of upgrades, I can say Cordes prices were more than competitive and I see cars in the Phoenix area that use them with high praise.

If you do some search, you can see and find what other people think. I would just say don’t equate cost with quality. Do research and reach out and make contact. It will give you an idea what service and support would be like after.
