Default The REAL stereo....

Can you put a supercharger on an LS1 with just a lid and LTs? I always loved the sound of them(very intimidating) and gains. Trying to find one for a good price

you cant. im confused as to why he called it a stereo too hahahaha. yes i get it the sound but still.

but yes you can put a blower on a stock car, just get a powerdyne or a very "weak" ati/procharger. I say powerdyne cause they suck in the big pic but i bet you can get one cheap and they wont break a stock motor.

the lid will go in the garbage, the blower has its own intake and filter and the boost comes from the blower and goes directly into your engine. so no lid.

They will break the **** out of a stock motor without the extra fuel and a tune... They make massively high IATs.

The Vortech kit keeps the stock lid/aftermarket lid.

Your corking up the motor by not having a free flowing exhaust though.

good price is a relative term.
