I have an 01 ls1 and am wanting to supercharge it. I have found two systems I like. I am wondering which would be better for my purposes. I am planning on keeping my car and not rebuilding the motor or anything for big boost, just wanting a blower that will make noise and add some power for my dd fun. I have a few bolt-ons already and am going to add a 3600 stall. I was wondering what maybe you guys thought.

What exactly is involved with installing a supercharger? What would I need to watch for once it is installed? What might be some common problems associated with installing one? Any advice is appreciated.

I know it isnt one of your choices, but why not go with a procharger?

I don't think there is a single whipple'd fbody out there...so count that out.
I recommend a Procharger. A D1 is always a great choice.

Exotic Performance Plus D1SC package hands down. Only roots/positive displacement blower would be the maggie kit if you want to go in that direction.

Well maybe I'm losing it, but I saw last night that whipple has a kit for the ls1/ls2/ls6. Procharger is definitely an option, and a magnacharger is also an option but I have a question, which would be the most efficient for daily driving? I don't figure a whipple is going to fit under my hood though.

I believe the Whipple kits are used primarily in sand rails...or other applications where you're not constrained by space (i.e. the cowl).

Personally, I would never buy a Magnacharger. It's a great blower for daily driving, but it doesn't have much potential if you ever want to make real power.

So Unit, you recommend a procharger? Can I ask, why? What about it makes it better, if that is the case?

There's always "a best" in everything, Procharger is the best sc'er out there for our cars.

hey man just letting you know the whipple kit does fit a ls1 motor but will not fit under an f body cowl. Went through that problem myself haha i was so mad when i found that out.

no you are not loosing it. i saw the same kit, but i don't think it is aimed at f body's. also why not go turbo ?

I'm still debating, I like superchargers cuz there is minimal lag in the boost, but I like turbos as well. Which do you guys think would be better for daily driving? And, what setup would you recommend?

Properly set up you'll have minimal or no lag with a turbo too.

Kentucky Turbo and Performance, a sponsor here, builds single turbo kits.

i would go with the aps twin turbo kit if you are worried about lag or the tti kit. i am in the process of getting one. superchargers steal allot more power from you engine then turbos do. turbos just make a slight restriction in you exhaust. also you can get something called anti lag, this works buy dumping allot of fuel in to the engine to keep the turbo spooled at all time. it is allot more complicated then that, but that is the basic idea. and i have never seen any camaro guys running anti lag. maybe it is not necessary because most of the camaros are used for drag racing and not road racing. good luck

That kentucky turbo kit is a decent price. I guess I have a few more options now.

also search the for sale section on this forum. sometimes people sell these turbo kits and you can get a pretty good deal.
