Don't do it, everyone goes with a supercharger, be different and twin turbo it.

all depends on you, i wasn't happy with the cars power when i bought it, cammed it a few thousand miles into it and officially hit 10k miles on my drive to the dyno being fully built and procharged. Go for the power your looking for and sound you like, i like the whipple but i also like my car really loud so i wouldn't hear it so went with procharger, i was going to go with a twin turbo setup but couldn't find many cars running it. Just know more power equals more problems. being fast isn't cheap and you'll never ending stay working on the car for those problems. take the easy way out and upgrade to a ZL1 and have warranty.

Yes you can make ZL1 power with your SS reliably. 30,000 miles is just getting broke in.

  OP, I did it and never looked back, as KingLT1 said, it's an easy and reliable way to attain ZL1-ish power level. Going significantly higher with the LT1 will require a much greater investment and risk.

Do it Im gong to do my 19ss shortly, Use Ted Jannetty he has everything you need and can tune it as well. He can also help you decide what power to make safely with the LT1.

Yes these newer Supercharger kits are plug and play. My car makes 550 whp and pushes me back in my seat when I get on it.
Message Laynlo for a good deal onthe Maggie kit. It's OEM reliability seriously

Thanks but if he decides on a Magnuson he'll have to get it thru a dealer.

I'm asking myself the same question. Should I just throw the Maggie Heartbeat, or go all out with fuel upgrades and the 2650?
