Why is it Corvette's respond to supercharging so well? I've been reading dyno's with just a supercharger they have 450+rwhp

Most modern engine's respond to supercharging pretty good. Most of the base systems advertise about a 55-60% increase over stock power w/ their systems @ 6-8psi, so you figure w/ 350hp @ the engine and a 60% increase, youre lookin @ about 560 engine hp, and 475ish rwhp.

Wow that's awesome, I was reading a review on a Vette with a ati procharger @ 7 psi and said he could burn the tires through 100 mph

Do you have a supercharged vette?

I believe he has a twin-turbocharged vette.

Dont have either, Im just a huge Lingenfelter fan. The name does corrispond to the Stage II - Twin Turbo package he built w/ 650hp tho.

And your "base" system is probably a somewhere in the 11s, w/ your average driver. But of course, who leaves anything base now-a-days?
