I'm not interested in super high HP, but have decided I would like a little more. It would seem smarter to add a mild supercharger than go adding 20 different bolt on's to acheive the same.

What superchargers are available for 2000 C5 that will run with a mild to medium boost that will add perhaps 75 to 100 additional HP. Again I'm not interested in breaking and land speed records, heck at my age I'm usually taking my time where ever I go anyway. Don't ask but I feel I would like few more ponies. Whats recommended and what sort of installed prices am I looking at?

Any of the popular superchargers will do what you want at low boost. They all have their pros and cons.

The basic break down is:

centrifugal (Procharger, Vortech, Paxton)- Mounts on front of engine, no need to change hood, power increases as PRM increases

Roots (Magnacharger) - mounts on top of the engine, needs new hood, low-end torque but loses power at top end

Twin screw (Kenne Bell)- mounts on top of the motor, needs new hood, flat power curve starting low and holds it at rpm.

This is very over simplified. Offered just to get you started. You need to decide how you want your power, do you care about staying smog compliant, etc, etc.

I would suggest that if you want a centrifugal go with ECS (east coast) or A&A (west coast) and they will give you all the info you need.

You want a Kenne Bell- gotta give Jeff @ TPE a call. That's the route I took.... :thumbsup:

Several shops can do the MagnaCharger so I have no specific recommendations for that install.

An entire system, installed by a pro with a few extras can get you to $10,000.00. You can also go much higher if you want.

Buy a used unit and install it yourself..... maybe as low as $5000.00

Like I said, all this information is very general and oversimplified based on my search. Keep searching, check a few web sites, do your homework and contact/talk with a couple of the pros.

Good luck.... :cheers:

:iagree: Excellent write up, only thing I would like to add is if you plan to purchase and install a used one, keep in mind most likely you will have no warranty. Something to consider.

I have a friend that may be selling his procharger soon, if interested

No such thing as a mild procharger blower
