This system increases the performance of the stock engine, from 360 horsepower and 390 ft-lbs. of torque (as measured at the flywheel) to 506 horsepower and 501 ft-lbs. of torque. The supercharger assembly is integrated into Edelbrock's unique intake manifold for a truly seamless design with minimal components.

Edelbrock Supercharger Systems are tailored exclusively for the GM V8 and V6 engines with a precision design that fits under the Camaro hood with no modifications to the body.

A turbocharger won't improve an engine's fuel economy, but it will get more horsepower out of a smaller, more fuel-efficient engine. When comparing turbocharger vs. supercharger, you're more likely to find a fuel efficient vehicle powered by a turbocharger than a supercharger.

A supercharger can increase an engine's power by 50 to 100 horsepower. On the other hand, a turbocharger can increase an engine's power by 70 to 150 horsepower.

Centrifugal superchargers are prized for their efficiency, which translates into less heat and lower parasitic drag on the engine.

Roots-style superchargers Roots-style superchargers (or “blowers”) are the most popular type of "positive displacement" design, compared to the "twin-screw" option as they are simpler and cheaper in design. The roots superchargers are bolted in place of the engine intake manifold.

Disadvantages of Superchargers The kinetic energy of exhaust gases isn't utilized in superchargers. Since the engine has to power the vehicle as well as the supercharger, they need to be built for greater force exertion. Superchargers are 20-25% less fuel-efficient than turbochargers.

Because a supercharger uses the engine's own power to spin itself, it siphons power - more and more of it as engine revs climb. Supercharged engines tend to be less fuel efficient for this reason.

But each system comes with a unique set of trade-offs. For those looking to balance performance with fuel economy and efficiency, turbocharging is the better choice. For those more interested in a straightforward solution to raw horsepower, supercharging is more likely the way to go.

In fact, centrifugal setups often generate less power than stock engines at low RPM because power is needed to drive them, even when they're not generating boost. The TVS blower, on the other hand, works more like an air pump than a fan. It starts generating additional power as soon as the throttle blade opens.

Less efficient: the biggest disadvantage of superchargers is that they suck engine power simply to produce engine power. They're run off an engine belt connected to the crankshaft, so you're essentially powering an air pump with another air pump.

Tesla Superchargers are incredibly fast electric vehicle (EV) chargers to help you quickly charge away from home, including on road trips. Specifically, a Tesla Supercharger is a Level 3 charger (the fastest available today) that adds up to 200 miles of range in just 15 minutes.
