Supercharged Corvette C6..........picture **** w/ Magnacharger I just got around to taking some pictures and thought I'd post some up for everyone to check out. 
2006 LS2 vette w/ 6speed manual (close to 600HP @ the crank)
-Magnacharger MP112
-American Racing 1 7/8" headers (no cats)
-B&B bullets for exhaust
-all installed/dyno tuned by 21st Century Muscle Cars authorized (LPE) Lingenfelter Dealer in Dallas
DYNO #'s
510 HP
505 TQ
The Torque is neck snapping just off part throttle! Its already at 460TQ just by 2500 rpm's. Its hard to even explain in words the difference this type of supercharger makes in DAILY DRIVING and spirited runs on the interstate. It really puts power in the usable RPM range where most people drive their cars.
Like in any Supercharger application HP/TQ #'s are just a reflection of what "pulley" one chooses to run and the tuner feels is acceptable in the long run for durability. I could have gone with a more aggressive tune and pulley size to create more boost, but after talking to my tuner, choose to stay on the conservative side and keep the boost @ 7lbs for now. At this level, for a car that only weighs 3179lbs its more than most drivers can ever use anyways.

cool. are you going to stay with that hood that way? or are you going with an s/c hood? I would be afraid someone would try and do something to it just to be a d**k.

!The C6 vette actually has very firm motor mounts from the factory so there isn't a lot of engine movement. I had a custom body shop in Dallas do the factory hood cut out with a 1/4" tolerance around EVERY part of the exposed Maggie.
It took the shop longer to do the hood than most people take on a simple cam job! I want things PERFECT and knew what it would cost going into it. After 2 days of tedious trimming and paying by the hour as well as all silver painted surfaces taped off to prevent any slight scratches....I could have bought a cowl hood or Carbon Fiber hood, but I personally did not want the Mustang Fox body look and you never get 100% OEM quality and fitment in aftermarket hoods from what I've seen. I'm very very picky and also wanted my silver paint to still be all factory and match. The other option I tried was a $3000 factory silver CF ZR1 take off hood, but it would not fit my application, so I passed on it.

If the vette market had a hood that was the same OEM quality as SLP SS hoods for F-bodies I'd be all over them. Also, the SS hoods flow really well with the Camaro body lines too, but most of the vette hoods for superchargers look like cowl hoods for mustangs.

Looks good, just a few suggestions
I've got a 500rwhp LS3 (cam/full bolt ons) and let me tell ya, you'll get used to it in a few days.
Next I'd throw on some TFS heads, big blower cam, meth and some real boost 10-13lbs !
I'd get a cowl hood too. Looks badazz none the less.

You're very right! Because of the added attention from the charger sticking out through the hood I get crowds of people always walking up to my car EVERYWHERE I've been. I never park it out of my sight and it does usually stay in the garage. I would hate to think what would happen if I left it in a mall parking lot!

cool looking piece-i always like the blowers sticking thru the hoods, had a bunch of the roots in s/b and b/b cars, but i hear ya about parking it anywhere, non car people come up and dont care about leaning on it
gotta be a blast to run thru the gears on a nice long strech
curious if there is much belt noise, i have only installed the Prochargers and old Roots style
