Default SuperCharging??
Aside from much work and needed upgrades.

Will a ls6 or ls2 intake type supercharger fit our ls4?

it might bolt up, but it wont clear the hood, and theres barely enough room to change the serp. belt so theres no way you would be able to run the added belt

Very true on the L67,either go turbo or NA on the LS4's.Don't know why people always ask about S/C-ing a FWD V-8,bad enough we don't get enough traction as is.

I'd totally consider swapping my whole front subframe and drivetrain for a low-mileage, mildly modded L67 setup. I know it's probably not a simple swap, but I could more easily go faster.

i think it would be a fun thing to learn how to drive one but my ls4 car has more torque steer than my mildy modded comp g and well less traction to i got a 1.96 60 foot out of the comp g but if i could i would supercharge the ls4 just because it would be bad a$$ but with a small cowl we should be able to fit a low profile blower like the ls9 vettes

Yeah...let's add something else to that side of the engine, never mind that an LS1 intake barely fits...and while we're at it let's make it a PD blower so we're at 10# of boost off idle. lol

Why not just go turbo and make more power at a more manageable rate?

You have to swap out the heads for a set of DOHC heads from a Cobra/Mach1
