I did the whole heads/cam/longtubes/tune on my C5 Z06 and it was fun but most of those mods just push the power higher up in the rpm band. That is great if you like to track the car but if you are just having fun with a daily driver for the street the low range torque from the super charger will provide the most fun.

For me, Bolt-ons will have to do. The amount of miles I drive doesn't warrant FI setups. I need 100% reliable car regardless of warranty offerings. Bolting on that type of power to a motor not built for it is asking for potential issues down the road. Bolt-ons somewhat avoid that and cost a lot less. Sure the power gains are worlds apart, but if I wanted a SC'ed Camaro I would trade in my 2SS for the ZL1.
I am going down the patch of bolt-ons to see what power gains I can get, but honestly for me it even more for the sound I can get out of the car. I am not going to be racing around the world. But I do want the car to sound damn good. Probably have to Cam it...
