I am thinking about putting a supercharger on mine what type would be best? It is an automatic if that make any differance

 

I assume you have 2010 V8. You could add the one used for the Corvette (Eaton) or a Magnussen or Whipple screw type. In any event the engine management will need serious reprogramming.

 

Yes it is 2010 V8

 

I have been looking at Hennessey and Vortech, Vortech is saying that the supercharger they use works better with the automatic car than the supercharger Hennessey used but that could just be a sales line...

 

there might be some truth behind that actually i had previously heard that the hennessey kit does suffer a little power loss with the automatic version ( i believe it was on a video review of the hennessey kit that i watched on youtube)

so yes i have heard that about the hennessey kit but don't know much about the vortech kit

 

I just read the Hennessey write up & have read up on the Vortech.. Either way it sure would be a fun build as long as you can get the electronics to agree with everything..

 

personally I think it would best to wait on on a few people to install them first. The 5th gen is still a very new car and Im sure they're still working the bugs out of the electronic issues with a S/C install. If you wait a lil while and let someone else learn by trial and error, I'm sure it'll save you some headaches and cash in the long run. But that's just my

 

i put a maggie on my l99. i tuned the tranny, and did a 12.4 with stock exhaust and intake.
only bug i found was the boost triggering a p0556 cel brake booster circuit performance.
ii think boost takes the sensor out of range, so a check valve in the vacuum line would work well. for now i tuned out the code. i say got for it.

 

I think you right when you say I should let others work out the bugs first.

Thanks

 

i was looking at installing a supercharger on my 5 speed 2.8 with a chip run about 6-7 psi so i would get 300hp due to my bank account i cant get a bigger engine right now whats ur opinions
