Re: Undecided what is the best SuperCharger for C5 So far I think the only options that are out there that are reasonably priced are the ATI and the Magnuson. Actually I don't even think the Magnuson is out yet. I would go with the ATI simply because it is putting out great #'s and you don't have to replace your hood when you buy it.

Re: Undecided what is the best SuperCharger for C5 One thing everyone should understand, centrifical and screw type superchargers are very different. The ATI blower will make 7psi at 5500-6000rpm and the Magnuson will make max boost pretty much right off idle. The ATI will be at low boost until the upper rpms. That's why Lingenfelters test car ran 126mph in the 1/4 on a stock motor. Don't just go by peak numbers, I think that's why people get mislead. Look at the area under the curve.

Re: Undecided what is the best SuperCharger for C5 what kind of tires did they run?
they may not have had as much stick as you.
mph shows the power your making
also your choice depends on what you want and how your car is setup.
I would hate to meet a screw type on the highway. Unless I am taching at 5k the screwtype will pull away instantly. but if we launch from a stop he will probably spin til the end of time.... I could go on and on with different scenarios.
It's less of a what is the best supercharger for a C5 but instead what is the best supercharger for me based on wanting to accomplish XYZ. You clearly define XYZ and your choice of poweradder becomes much more obvious.

Re: Undecided what is the best SuperCharger for C5 I did that with 255/50/16 BFG DR's.
If I were going to advertise a track time on a site like that, I sure as heck would at LEAST put a drag radial on it. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
