Supercharging a 1999 Camaro Z28

First off, I am thinking about putting a supercharger on this, just wondering
if it will still be a good daily driver.

And I don't want to get into an extremely crazy project (no free time).
Just want to get the HP up and the supercharge seems to be the best way
to go.

So, which is a really good supercharger kit, please note, I am looking for the
whole kit (tell me if there is anything I will need that the kit does not include)
for example, can you order kits with the intercooler?

This car has 305Hp stock, but what would be a down to earth expecation of
the HP after the supercharger is installed?

Should I change the exhaust? (it is stock) or change anything else?

Finally, where can I get a good price on the entire set up (SC kit, intercooler and anything else needed).

Thanks
Tom

I have a Ls1 supercharger 4/s: Its a powerdyne 6 psi... Its got a new head unit 0 miles.. 6 psi is the most you can go on a stock ls1 motor before you get in the "danger zone".. You'll gain 150hp on a stock motor. I ran a 12:591 With a stock car and it was an a4 with 2:73's. Its complete pm me if your looking to buy..

I may be intersted in the supercharger, but it would have to be something
that is new, because everyone knows its a good amount of work to install this.

Email me with all info, and is this a complete supercharger kit or just the head
unit? Thorton11@aol.com

Re: Supercharging a 1999 Camaro Z28

I'd do:

Vortech kit with aftercooler
Longtube headers
!cats or hi flow cats
3" catback Hooker Aerochamber gets my vote
175 Stat
LS6 valve springs

T56 car should make 450-500rwhp.

If you just do the supercharger, and leave the exhaust stock, I would expect 375rwhp or so. I had seen a bone stock WS6 ragtop run like five years ago with a blower and it went 12.9@111mph.
