Stock LS1 H/C/I vs. A&A S/C kit Hi everyone I need your knowledge as I'm still wondering on what I should ''invest'' money.Right now I have a stock-ish C5 LS1(DiabloSport Predator and CAI).The time has come for more power and I am hesitating between H/C/I or the A&A S/C kit.The kit is worth 5.5k with fuel system upgrade included(injectors and fuel pump).The car is used as a dd so keeping good MPG would be nice.
How do stock LS1 handle low level boost?
Will it be reliable transmission(M6) wise under let's say 500RWHP?
Looking for the best ''bang for your buck'' setup.
Thank you.

will need a clutch and that is about it for either way you go.
N/A is more violent when you hit the gas but drivability can become difficult for DD with a huge cam
supercharged will retain stock drivability but make power.

I opted for supercharging my stock 99LS1 over H/C/I because I wanted to keep the stock-like drive-ability and MPG's. I used the LS7 clutch as well. When you are not in the boost you would never know the car makes 450rwhp. I can still pull down 29mpg on the highway with a 6 speed and a 4.10 rear.

A&A and dont look back. Way more power, mpg, driveability, fun. i have c5s making well over 500whp on stock bottom ends for years and some over 600 but dont get greedy yet. Do you already have longtubes?

On the Z06, I'm building it for track outings so I'm going to stay N/A. I still use it as a daily driver. I'm not one though to be going for huge cams like 230+ I just need it to stay in it's sweet spot. Reason for N/A is it's more consistent and I wont have over heating issues. It's a lot more different when your on the gas pedal for more than 45 seconds vs quick spirited sprints at the drag-strip/streets. It just really depends on you. How your realistically going to be driving.
