Power gains are impressive: The company's LS3 C6 offering produces a 40-45 percent hp improvement with just 5-6 psi of intercooled boost, and even higher boost and power levels are available for modified motors. ProCharger's high-flowing head unit and efficient air-to-air intercooler substantially improve overall performance and maximize engine reliability.

STS's twin-turbo systems burst onto the scene a few years ago as the first mass-produced, rear-mounted twin-turbo system available for the Corvette. The major advantages of this configuration include easier installation, with no need for major modifications to the vehicle. Locating the turbos at the rear of the car reduces underhood temperatures in the Corvette's already crowded engine room.

Vortech gear-driven superchargers provide nearly silent operation and a high- efficiency impeller and housing. By tapping into the engine's oiling system, Vortech utilizes what it claims is the best possible lubrication and cooling for the supercharger, even under sustained boost conditions. In later applications, an integrated charge cooler allows for additional horsepower gains. An included fuel-management upgrade encompasses high-capacity fuel injectors and a handheld ECM reprogrammer.

Nothing says horsepower like a gigantic roots supercharger towering over the hood of your Corvette. Weiand offers several superchargers, ranging from the compact 142 series, which will actually fit under some hoods, all the way up to the enormous 8-71 series, which requires a hole roughly the size of the Holland Tunnel. If you want to make a statement, these are your babies.
