The A&A Supercharger kit brings you dramatic increases in power while not
degrading everyday drivability or highway gas mileage! The system utilizes a
large blow off valve that remains open at cruise and light throttle. This,
essentially, allows the supercharger to “freewheel” under normal conditions,
reducing parasitic loss to less than that of an alternator.
A naturally
aspirated engine would require higher compression, a very aggressive camshaft,
high flow cylinder heads with heavy duty valvetrain, exhaust headers with free
flowing exhaust, larger throttle body, high flow intake manifold, free flowing
air filter housing and duct, etc. Most of these parts are NOT emissions legal.
The price of these components alone is higher than a supercharger system. The
labor to install these is also much higher. Then there are the inherent problems
brought to the vehicle by such a build. A large camshaft all but ruins everyday
drivability AND gas mileage. Driving in traffic becomes a very trying
experience. A stick shift car will buck and surge and an automatic car will be
hard to hold back because of the increased idle speed required. Low speed torque
is reduced with an aggressive camshaft which will require lower differential
gearing and a high speed stall torque converter (automatic cars) to make up for
it. This further degrades drivability and gas mileage. With all the components
required for a high performance naturally aspirated car, the degradation in
drivability and gas mileage, the total inability of the vehicle to pass
emissions tests and the added expenditure, the vehicle would STILL have up to
100HP less than a stock Corvette with one of our standard systems bolted
on.
Average increase TO THE REAR WHEELS is approximately 175 RWHP! No
other modification, in this price range, even comes close.
A&A SYSTEM ADVANTAGES OVER THE
COMPETITION
Superior Belt Drive System
- Belt wrap is the key to eliminating belt slip and our
proprietary bracket system offers more belt wrap than any other system on the
market.
- Our bracket is CNC machined from 5/8” high quality
6061 aluminum plate and fly cut on both sides to assure absolute consistency
in thickness. This is imperative for proper belt alignment.
- Our brackets are constantly quality checked by assembling on our “mock up”
engine and checking alignment with a laser aligner.
Superior Intercooler Design
- Our intercooler design has evolved, through constant
testing, into the most efficient intercooler system available for the late
model Corvette.
- Our intercoolers rely on superior “air management” of
the charge air as well as the ambient cooling airflow. Both are equally
important and are often overlooked by the competition. With the limited space
available in a Corvette, positioning of the intercooler is critical.
- A large intercooler that is hidden behind the frame
is not as efficient as a smaller intercooler that is exposed to full frontal
airflow.
- We not only use a large intercooler, but we are able
to ram more cooling air through the core with our “Ram Air” intercooler
design. The integral scoop captures air from under the front fascia and forces
it through the core. The entire core is exposed to this cooling air stream.
- Other designs allow air to travel over and around the
intercooler.
- The interior of our intercoolers differ from the competition also. We
utilize directional vanes in the lower tank to direct charge air evenly across
the intercooler core. This is an expensive but very important addition.
Superior Engine Cooling
- Intercooler positioning is equally important in how
it affects engine cooling. Many supercharger systems are plagued by
overheating issues due to intercooler placement. Our intercooler is placed
much further forward than any other design. This allows the fans to draw
cooling air through the radiator and AC condenser without being shrouded by
the intercooler.
- We also leave the radiator mounted in its upright position for better
cooling. Some competitors lay the radiator down at a steep angle which impedes
air flow through the radiator.
Aesthetics
- The A&A system is one of the best looking systems
around.
- Fit and finish is second to none. Our brackets,
ductwork and the supercharger, itself, are all show polished.
- Our top shroud fits perfectly and is powder coated
satin black to compliment the polished components.
- All the visible couplers are high quality silicone
and our “T Band” clamps are polished stainless steel.
- The entire system fits snuggly under your stock hood.
- You’ll be proud to show off your engine compartment with your A&A
Supercharger system installed.
Top Quality Components
- We utilize only the highest quality components in our
systems.
- Vortech head units are used exclusively. (read
why we chose Vortech)
- Highly efficient, hand welded, air to air
intercoolers.
- Large Vortech blowoff valve (Maxflow® Race Valve)
- Aluminum charge tubing for lighter weight
- Silicone couplers
- Stainless steel clamps.
- High capacity injectors
- High capacity LPE fuel pump or Kenne Bell Boost A Pump
NOTE:Custom PCM calibration based on specific vehicle and engine
modifications will be required for use with this kit.

The V-2 SQ model is considered the new generation among
superchargers. Highly advanced computer designed gears feature an optimized
helical profile which allows for near silent operation while providing superior
performance.
The V-3 supercharger features an internally lubricated
transmission, which allows for supercharger installation and operation without
oil lines.
The V-7 Series combines the advanced technology and
race-proven performance of the V-4 model and fits most of our existing mounting
bracketry. The V-7 is designed for vehicles with highly modified engines and
extreme CFM/boost demands.
