is there a supercharger out there for the ls1 f-body's??

Supercharger - yes. Twin screw supercharger - not that I know of without severe modification to the cowl of the car. Being that the intake sits roughly halfway under the windshield, it is quite difficult to install a supercharger on top of the engine. It can be done though. I do recall hearing of a mini maggie supercharger as well. That being said, I would recommend checking into a pro-charger instead.

Actually - yes, there is. I just saw one in a magazine - very recently.

IIRC, it was in Car Craft.

I know they make the prochargers but i dont like how those sound. the twinscrew sounds soo much better and turbos are a lot of money!

Yes, I'm talking about a twin screw.

Also, there is a Magnusson roots blower out there. Most folks call it a mini-maggie, dunno if you've seen that one? Not sure if they are still being made new or not. I believe there was a kit that required minor cowl cutting, and one that fit with no cutting.

i checked on them a while back and i think they discontinued them due to lack of sales

Most people don't spend 10K+ on something because of how it sounds

There is only one twin screw made for F-bodies out there. It is the Dragon Race Performance Whipple kit. They have pics of it on their website and make lots of claims but I have yet to see any conclusive results about it anywhere. Matter of fact one guy went to put it on his C6 Vette and it crapped out on him. There is a big post about it on the Corvette forums. As mentioned before the cowl hinders these cars severely in that KB and other companies never developed any kits for them. There are some Maggie kits out there and a few Harrop S/C but most of these kits were heavily modified with things make them work with an F-bodies accessory drive.

Put it this way. If there was an easy way to go about it then there would be lotsa cars with these kits on them. Sad fact is there is not a very good way to do a KB or Whipple. I called DRE about their Whipple kit and most of them are made for Vette's. However, they offered me some insight on their kit but it seemed kind of shady so I stayed with a Procharger. You can't go wrong with something that is proven time and time again.

Thank you - I wanted to say it was a Whipple, but did not want to speak out of turn before I knew for sure.

Just remember, horsepower doesn't mean it is always going to sound good to you that is like people picking a cam because it sounds good. When in fact you need to pick the perfect set up that will give you the most gains.
