Well it depends on what kind of blower you go with. If you go w/ the Magnuson (roots) it'll have a flatter curve and make between 450-500 rwhp w/ intake and headers and tuning. If you go w/ a centrifugal like a Vortech or a Paxton Nove or an ATI Procharger you'll me makeing a lot more horsepower. The problem is the high compression of the stock engine. You can only run 5-7 lbs of bost safely. These cars will make around 550 rwhp. Now if you forge the bottom end and lower the compression w/ a set of 6.0 liter truck heads you can run crazy boost safely and make 650-700 rwhp. It all depends on what the owner has done. The cars can run anywhere from only low 12's to mid 10's depending on driver skill etc.

BTW Lingenfelter doesn't use any centrifugal blowers... they only use the mag.


BTW, My brothers LPE S/C car with other mods. Only made 451rwhp. :rolleyes: Most of the time the ATI's and Vortech's have heat issues on those cars. A friend of mine here has a 2000 c5 coupe with a 100 shot of NOS and raced a Z06 with Vortech SC and smoke him not once but three times.
Cobra do us King of the Hill Viper owners a favor and go back to your your chevy. forums. :rolleyes:
