Considering superchager - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

2011SScam · 03-31-2016, 11:57 AM

I am considering adding a supercharger to my setup and would most likely be an LSA from a ZL1. has anyone done this and were you please with the results? Does anyone else have suggestions for comparable price? I know I can get more out of bigger chargers, but also working on a budget. $4,500 MAX for parts/labor/tune all inclusive.

Current setup:
CAI
Cam
Headers
X-pipe
High flow cats
straight pipe
Currently sitting at 510 crack, 450 rwhp

Any input or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

A stock engine

If you get that done for that price please let me know where and how. Even doing the install yourself I'm not sure $4500 is possible.

Edit: Cheapest I found a LSA supercharger was around $3800.

Im currently collecting all parts and i can tell you you can def do it under 4500 even lower if you can get some good deals on used blower/CAI and tune. Installed not so much Im doing the install myself and from calling a couple shops that will make a good $1500 difference.

I paid $1000 for install and tune at ADM

Parts can be cheaper if you piece it together over time looking for deals, but it takes sooooo long. Two years in my case, I'm too old for that this time around.

To make it easier on parts you can buy the kit w/o the SC and all you will need after is the blower and CAI. It worked for me not too bad so far. Yeah ADM is a few states away so I am not so fortunate.

I wasn't saying drive. Was just providing reference for lab to charges. But if at all possible I do 100% recommend anyone go there any time you need anything LSA

Reconditioned blower? If it's just a Used motor. It pages to have all the seals. And everything replaced/reconditioned.

I have a buddy that runs a performance shop in GA. I cant tell you how much of this is a buddy price, but he does pristine work and beats most prices. look him up on facebook. #SOB BUILT

The $4,500 im currently looking at is LSA, any other needed parts, install, and tune.

my buddy is the one getting the entire setup for me, but I believe it would be a reconditioned from GM.

sounding more and more like I do need to jump on this. I was hesitant as the money for this was actually going to buy a 3rd car with for winter, but also didn't want to chance missing out on this opportunity and not be able to get it next year, or ever for that matter.

He's basically just doing the work for free. You can buy the complete kit from
ADM for 4000-5000 depending when you catch him on the price. He posts deals on here several times a year.
