Supercharger which direction do I go?

I've been kicking around the idea of a supercharger for my SS. There's so many choices, not sure which would be best for my car.

My car is a daily driver, I've got plenty of mods as listed within my sig. I want more power that it. Who do I talk to?

I would suggest the ECS kit. Pretty reasonably priced for an added 200hp. If it's going to stay your DD I can't see why you would need more unless you want to start tracking it. Let us know if you need any help deciding!!

Best regards,

Kinda depends.

PD- instant tq for experienced driver. Look much much better.

Centri - more efficient. Louder whine. More gradual power introduction

If I was going SC then I would go ECS. Hard to beat.

In my opinion I would go Centri or even Twin setup. But it all depends on what the goal of your car is besides it being a DD. I DD mine as well n finally chose to do a 416 twin setup(will start the build in a couple months). Once you set a real goal for the car the options will narrow down a little bit. Just don't rush

My goal is 525-550, being a DD I'd rather not get too crazy but what is too crazy? I don't plan on tracking, just a drag now and then.

LSA simple. Cheapest option. Will put you right in that number. Hit up ADM. As stated above

Why not a SLP TVS2300. Great low end torque, easy install compared to most and it has a clean factory look. Brand new complete unit won't be much more than a LSA. Very happy with mine.

I'm biased, but, with that said, ADM's LSA Kit is a great setup.

You have a great list of options here. Look into all of them and choose the one that fits your goals...

We are all biased. I pick SLP because I like PD blowers, love the look of the blower, and I've always been partial to SLP.
Figure out what your driving and HP goals are, as well as, what you may think looks good and pull the trigger. Best of luck.

Exactly why I did. It's not the best choice. But damn it's beautiful. TVS. And I've always been a SLP brand whore since my 02 35th SLP SS
