Newbie supercharger questions? I have a 2000 z28, with basic mods: hookers,ls6 intake and all the basic bolt-ons its a six speed car. at the present moment it has a tr224 cam but that will more than likely come out! My question is what is the best supercharger kit and where to buy from? I have been think ATI! Also what cam is the best for a supercharger stock or after market? I have a stock motor and dont plan on upgrading in the near future so all these questions are with stock cubes in mind.
thanks
thanks

As far as what cam you can run, anything under an LSA of 114 and you will potentially bleed boost, not a good thing. I've heard people say the LS6 cam is good for turbocharged applications...maybe the same can be said for a supercharger.
6.0 L heads will lower your compression and allow you to run more boost. I don't know which cam would complement these heads or stock heads the best. I've heard people say that a custom cam should be used but without seeing any proven gains, I personally am cautious of going that route. I like to know what gains to expect before forking over the loot.
I've searched plenty of times and have had trouble finding specific information on what works for a given set-up. Maybe others with similar goals and experience can chime in to help ya out.
