Hey, I've been contemplating on getting a supercharger for my 2000 camaro z28 ss, problem is, I can't seem to find one by whipple, or any other roots type style, I want a roots type, not any other type simply because whipples are the best supercharger in my opinion, can anyone point me in the correct direction for a good whipple charger? any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

you wont find any other roots/twin screw blower besides a magnacharger for an f body. Thats the only one that will clear the cowl. If you want to cut the cowl, I bet you could make an LS truck kit fit. I know like last week there was a Magnacharger Fbody kit for sale in the classifieds for cheap.


As a side note, centri > PD blowers IMO. No heat soak is a good thing, but you probably want it for the whine and/or low end torque.

Do i need to get any other things to build up my engine to handle the supercharger? and what kinda boost does the centri run vs the PD?

You will need bigger injectors, 60 pounders would be ideal & depending on how much boost different heads with larger chambers to lower the CR some. A Z06 cam is a popular FI cam too & headers work well on a blown setup. You'll make the most boost with a centri or the twin screw whipple, the magna is a roots design & is great down low but not as good as the other 2 at higher boost levels.

Hes also ganna need to upgrade his springs, retainers, pushrods, and possibly a bigger fuel pump depending on the amount of power hes looking for. Others will suggest upgrading your oil pump, timing chain, beefing up the tranny and upgrading your rearend to a 12 bolt (A4) or a moser 9" (M6). Also a aftermarket tranny cooler will help keep things cool and since your still on the LS1 intake, you might want to upgrade to a LS6 or a fast 90 setup to pull more ponies out of the supercharger. Of course if you're an M6, your ganna have to upgrade you clutch to handle the power or that will let go pretty quick.

So i need all that stuff to drive it daily? I mean, this car is by NO means just a drag car ... i put down 310 rear wheel horse and 310 ft lbs of torque with the few addons i have already , I just want a supercharger for the extra "umph" when i want it , i don't wanna build a drag car haha , I want a daily driver car that has muscle when i want it .

he said he had to do a slight body lift to get it to fit and that it was a PITA. but it is a magnacharger.

I'd seriously look into a procharger. Look through the forced induction section and read up on the two. Procharger seems to dominate. Wish i had one

I agree! Take a look at this D-1SC system, all you need is a tune to go with it.

The D-1SC on a built engine has powered an F Body into the 8's in the 1/4 mile. 8 pounds of boost on a stock engine will get you an increase of approx 140 rwhp. Bob
