Does the C6 Z06 have a supercharger?

Its reign might be nearing an end, however, as Edelbrock is arming the C6 Z06 with an E-Force supercharger system. Under the hood, the Z06 packs an LS7 small-block with some of the wildest features ever included in a production vehicle.

Does a supercharger add more HP than a turbo?

A supercharger typically provides an engine with higher horsepower, increased performance, and more boost across the entire operating range of the engine from top to bottom. Hot exhaust gases power the turbocharger creating a short lag time from when the throttle is opened by pushing the gas pedal down.

Which is more reliable turbo or supercharger?

Superchargers are arguably more reliable than turbochargers. They’re easy to install and maintain. They’re louder than turbochargers—they enhance the RPMs by a considerable amount—and they’re also more common as a result.

Are turbos or superchargers more reliable?

Do superchargers require premium gas?

First off, never run lower octane fuel than is recommended by the vehicle’s manufacturer. You will also need to run a premium grade fuel (91+ octane) if you have a supercharger, turbocharger, or if you have an ignition programmer that advances your ignition timing.

Is the Z06 engine better than the LS7?

The older z06 engine ls6 has been known to make 600whp realibly, and one guy made 717whp through a automatic tranny! The LS7 can make more power, one of ls7’s benefits is sleeved cylinder walls, so 700whp is possible, and if you want to be conservative go for 650whp.

Which is more efficient Vortech or turbo superchargers?

PatrickSR: dont give up man there is still an option, get a Vortech supercharger. These are the most efficient superchargers on the market due to the centrifugal design, they are nearly as efficient as turbo. Current Vortech centrifugal supercharger’s are only about 8% less efficient then a turbo.

Is the Vortech supercharger bad for the LS7 engine?

Get this vortech supercharger, you can make around 700 wheel hp safely. But this only part of solution, due to the LS7’s high 11.0:1 compression ratio and the increased combustion pressures from the supercharger boost, you will need to run a much higher octane fuel.

Is the Eforce Roots supercharger bad for the engine?

With the eForce roots type supercharger you will put more strain on the engine making 700WHP if eForce is used. With the centrifugal supecharger, make sure you run a big as possible front mount air-to-air intercooler to help avoid detonation and help make more power. You could also use a Air-to-Water intercooler setup, but its more complicated.
