I have a 2002 Z06 with about 35k on it. This summer I would like to install a Twin Turbo, Kenny Bell Supercharger, or Maggie. Either one will be on a stock OEM engine. My questions are: what do you thin would be best, TT or KB or Maggie? What cam should I use? Replacing or modifying the hood is no problem for the supercharger. Any and all advice or suggestions is welcome.

There are many posts on this subject, all you need do is search the forum. Odds are quite good you'll find more information than you can comfortably consume. Good luck on your project. My 02 is blown, and it's the best thing I ever did.

Sorry Chris, it appears you guys are no longer site supporters here so you can no longer make posts of this nature.

Thanks, it looks like I'm going to go with a Magie or KB.

In that case I'd recommend the KB.

Much less prone to heat soak, and more room to grow if you ever get a forged motor and the itch for more boost (highly likely).

Maggies do look great though.

When it’s time to supercharge, and it’s getting close, it all comes down to the almighty dollar. The budget is saying I’m most likely going to have to go with a used supercharger. I agree that a KB would be the one but I have never seen a used one for sale. For that matter finding a used Maggie is going to be hard as well. Seems when I’m not looking, or the tax man says not yet, one or two pop up for sale.

I like the turbo setup better. With turbos, you're not running boost all the time. Also, with a boost controller, you can lower or raise the boost on demand without having to swap out pulleys. Good luck.

Turbos are better...more hp per pound of boost, not wasting energy to make power, ability to change boost settings via the touch of switch, mileage virtually unchanged unless your in it all the time, the whistle just sounds bad ass.

Are you going to be doing the work yourself, or having a shop install/tune for you?
