Question LS7 Supercharger Options

Hi. Is anyone out there running superchargers on their LS7 engines? If so, which kit are you using? Has anyone changed the pistons or upper end to accommodate more boost? If so, how do you like your kits & which pistons did you use? Please advise.

Heard the Vortech is a nice unit. Probably my 2nd option.

Hi. What is the maximum boost you can run with the Vortech kit or any supercharger? What all would need to be changed to run more boost? Please advise.

You can check with Kenne Bell, they have been designing a kit for the C6 Z06 for the last couple months

Hi. I do not see it yet on the Kenny Belle website, but I will look into it.
Any other options or suggestions out there?

We're finishing up a 2007 ZO6 with a Procharger P-1sc-1, making a solid 6 psi , 600+ RWHP, with LT headers and high flow cats & X-pipe.

If you want to make more boost than that, I would definately suggest different pistons & rods, but once you change those you should be able to run a lot of boost.
