Ok first step is to have the money. I will tell you that a setup like that will cost a pretty penny. If money is not of issue then move to step 2. someone else care to fill moto in on how to do this.

I do know that those superchargers are no where near as good as other poweradders such as turbos and newer supercharger systems. sure they may look "good" on older cars but it goes with a level of technology far below the rest of the camaro. and for those "looks" you will pay a major price premium

You do it with lots and lots of money.
How much do you guys thing that thing would cost? 8...10 thousand?

Actually, the owner of both of those cars is ON THIS BOARD.

blowers themselves aren't that expensive. At least not as expensive compared to the roots type S/C which will cost a few grand at least. But it's not as simple as just going and buying a "blower" and a S/C... You need all supporting mods, you need to tune, then if you get a Camaro right away I highly doubt any aftermarket companies are going to be offering hoods for the camaro with a cut-out like that. Which you'll probably have to do yourself and that's going to be a whole issue in itself....

It's doable, but going to cost a lot of coin, time, and it'll be a learning process.

step 1. grow mullet
step 2. slap self in face for wanting to cut up a perfectly good new 'maro for looks.. lol

lol, all jokes aside it can be done. itll cost you. and would not be as good as going with a turbo or even centrifugal. new roots type blowers are WAAAAY more efficient using basically the same tech. and the twin screws dont have nearly the surging problems.

You do know that a blower and supercharger are the same thing, right?

loosely yes... Sorry I meant a "blower" or a roots type... I also meant "blower" referring to the air compressor...

*radz28* · 11-11-2008, 12:06 PM

I don't think those blowers are as efficient as the ones that are available today, particularly latest-generation four-lobed and screw-type. More to your questions, I imagine a BDS or Weiand would look just fine there with Enderle fuel injectors and a hat. I don't think either of these companies make large 6-71+ sized blowers with manifolds for an LS-engine but I haven't looked that hard. You'd easily be able to find a Magnusun, Whipple, or Kenny Bell that would get close to poking a little out of the hood, but not like that. They'd be a lot more efficient than those old BDS or Weiands though...

To each his own

pretty good considering the owner posted that picture and the op copied it....the op even asked the same question right after the owner posted the picture = P

Rogue Leader · 11-11-2008, 12:17 PM

I think everyone is ignoring the OP here when he says things such as "I don't know much about cars."

To the OP, Unless you wanted to do $20,000+ dollars of work to your car this will never happen. That is a supercharger for a carburated engine, of which the LS3 is not. You would have to disconnect prettymuch all electronics and drop in a new smallblock (L98 class, maybe LT1 I don't know if they made these to work with that) to run this. As well you would need all new gauges etc, the manual transmission might work with a different bellhousing, oh and of course cut a hole in the hood. Aside from the fact that is most states due to the car being so new it would be completely illegal to register and drive on the road, you would have a drag car only, that honestly probably wouldn't go fast enough vs the stock LS3 to make any of this worth it.

I'm not laughing at you, you said yourself you don't know much. Someone just needed to tell you, it will never happen.

I think a protruding blower looks cool on older cars and cars that weren’t offered with a v8 from the factory. But it is kind of silly on anything that came with a v8 and port injection since all else being equal carbs make less power. Check out the supercharging sections on some of the G8 and 04-06 GTO boards, there some pretty slick kits that will give you all the boost the stock engine can handle without cutting the hood.

It might not look as cool, but it will be street legal, pass emissions, cost less and be more impressive to people who recognize the sound or see it with the hood up.
