Default has anyone supercharged the gxp?

ok, a good buddy of mine has a gxp and i have a gto. we are currently doing a front mount turbo on the gto. he wants to do something, already has a 100 shot on there now with some other goodies, i was just seeing if anyone has already supercharged, no luck with the search here or google. so just curious, my thought would be that the v6 blower wouldnt work because its not big enough and the gains would be next to none, also, have not seen a centrifugel setup either. im telling him lets build him a turbo, but we both want to do stuff that hasnt really been done before. any thoughts.

There is a turbo kit through cartuning..that is all though.

There isnt any supercharger kit, but realisticly with money and time a magison would fit.

That's what I was thinking as well...a maggie for an LS6 should work...if they have one that has the intake on the rear of the charger.





The biggest issue facing a super charger is that they wont make as much power as a turbo charger will. The turbo is more efficient, which will always net a higher hp rating. However maggie's sound bad *** and that power, even though it is less, is there the moment you hit the fun pedal.
