We typically see an increase of 140 rwhp with an ATI ProCharger at 8 psi of boost. You won't get this kind of power with an N/A engine unless you go with a big cam, which kills off your bottom end power.
Check out this 346 ci C5 Corvette, that has an ATI ProCharger D-1SC. It is producing 740 rwhp and the customer took it on a vacation and got 28 mpg!

I have a magnusson On my V and I really like it! Clean, neat, great manners, excellent gains, Heat will almost never be an issue on the street, road course maybe... (meth kit $399.) I have never had a procharger on a car before, only on a boat, I have heard they have made considerable improvements since then, so I won't share my experiences. I know people are getting large gains with them, if your looking for 15# forget the maggie. I would love to see both superchargers on the dyno at 8#'s, just to see how they do against each other.

The best judge wouldn't be a dyno, but the strip. Dynos are for magazine articles- in the real world it's all about how well you can put it down and get going.

A Procharger would be better for actually putting the power to the ground, simply because it builds boost with RPMs - right?

Has anyone heard of any of these dealer installed supercharger packages? The car I'm interested in has a dealer installed Procharger, and I'd like to hear more about anyones experiences with them. I basically need to know if they're legit or not, and if I can expect a decent tune from a dealership.

This is my main hangup in not buying the car yet.

Maggie will give you more off idle...which isn't what you want in a V. A Procharger won't hit as hard from a dig but will be nasty from a roll. Many stock internal LS6's are putting out 550 plus RWHP with centrifugals which is hard to do with a N/A motor without a big cam and big cubes.

I would do a procharger but have a hard time paying the Vette tax...$8300 would have me considering a twin turbo kit instead.

It will be easier to launch, that's for sure. Pretty much the same as stock. The Maggied car will definitely feel faster due to the "yank" you get when shifting, whereas the Centrifugal will smoothly build boost and speed as the RPMs rise.

I'd almost be willing to bet a Centrifugal Supercharged LS6 would put down better 60ft times and ETs than a Maggied one, but the Maggied car would have a better trap speed, which is indicative of more power than the suspension and tires can handle. The same thing happens on Supercharged Z06s: Huge trap speeds, but worse than stock 60ft times.

Just remember that it's rare to do a full 1/4 mile run on the street- most stoplight encounters consist of 100ft before you back it down for fear of the law. That's the kind of power you're looking for.
