Superchargers

Why Supercharge? Supercharging will give your engine more torque and horsepower - helping your Corvette work harder. Everyone uses his or her vehicle differently, but anyone who simply appreciates performance can benefit from a supercharger system.

Performance. Superchargers can deliver a proven 63 to 125% increase in real world "under the curve" power. Best of all it usually costs less than 1/3 of a horse at 60 mph cruise. Now that's real efficiency.

How Does It Work? In simple terms, an engine's ability to make power is directly proportionate to the amount of air and fuel that can be brought into the combustion chamber. Putting more fuel in is easy. It's like opening a faucet. On the other hand, getting extra air into the chamber is a more difficult matter, since it's essentially "drawn" in. A supercharger increases the displacement or "blows" more air into the engine. This is called "forced induction," and it's widely used in racing, aviation and industry to extract maximum power from internal combustion engines. You get the fuel economy of a smaller engine, with the power and horsepower of a larger, stronger engine.

What's Best For Racing Isn't Necessarily Best For The Street. A racing engine is designed to provide peak performance for a certain period of time. In drag racing, it's a matter of seconds. For oval track racing, it can be 500 miles. That's nothing compared to the 100,000 plus miles that's expected of a street driven vehicle.
