The A&A Corvette 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 Free Wheel under normal conditions,
reducing parasitic loss to less than that of an alternator.
This model Includes a Dewitts High Perforamnce Radiator Model:
1139105A required for Installation on a C6/Z06 Corvette.
This Direct Fit radiator features two rows of 1" tubes, which
doubles the cooling capacity of a factory single row. Our exclusive
"press formed" end tanks are hand tig welded by expert craftsman,
eliminating the factory plastic tanks. This radiator includes the
correct factory type "quick connect" fittings for the transmission
oil connections. 2005-2013. All Z06 & C6 Automatic
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 Corvette Performance manufactures top quality supercharger
systems exclusively for C5 (1997- 2004) and C6 (2005- 2013)
Corvettes including Grand Sport and Z06.
Our systems have evolved into the most efficient and cost effective
superchargers available today.
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"Â 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 C6
Corvette.
- Our intercoolers rely on superior air management of the
charge air as well as the external 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. Our intercooler is as large as any available but its
placement is the key to superior charge cooling. The entire core is
exposed to the cooling air stream.
- The top of the intercooler core is positioned right at the
bottom of the frame. It is mounted forward so as not to allow air
to flow over the top of the intercooler.
- We have side panels and a larger bottom panel that seals up
against the front fascia.
- This gives us a Ram Air effect through our intercooler. No
other manufacturer has spent as much time and resources on air flow
management as A&A.
- Looking through the grill opening on an A&A system will
reveal the difference between our system and all others. Nothing
but the core area of the intercooler is exposed to the incoming
rush of cold air. The intercooler face in encompassed by our sheet
metal enclosure and both tanks are completely hidden from
view.
- The area next to the intercooler is also closed in with
aluminum panels assuring that any air that is fed around the sides
of the intercooler is redirected back into the radiator. Again,
this is something no other manufacturer has incorporated into their
systems.
- Other designs allow the upper portion of the intercooler core
to be shrouded by the frame and allow air to travel over and around
the intercooler. When looking through the grill opening on other
systems, you see the lower tank and only a portion of the core.
This is horribly inefficient!
- 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
- Testing has shown that the incoming air charge will pack into
the side opposite the inlet, rendering the near side almost
useless.
- Testing with an infrared thermometer showed large temperature
differences at opposite ends of the intercooler. These special
internal vanes assure the charge air is forced into the near side
of the intercooler, increasing its cooling capacity
considerably.
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.
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.
- 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
Notes
- 2006+ Z06 and 2008+ LS3 Z51 6-Speed Manual transmission cars,
and 2010+ Grand Sport dry sump cars require a radiator upgrade. The
new radiator will have provisions for the external oil cooler
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.
A&A Superchargers utilize 3 basic head
units and a couple of variations of each. We also have a liberal
trade in program should a customer decide to upgrade the engine and
supercharger unit at a later date. At that point, we can supply the
correct unit for the desired horsepower output. There are several
designations for these units that can become confusing. The Trims
refer to the actual size or airflow and horsepower output of the
unit. Here is an explanation of these designations:
Si-Trim, T-Trim, YSi-Trim:
The Si-Trim is our standard unit and is
recommended for all stock engines or engines with mild
modifications only. (headers, camshaft, etc.) The Si-Trim is easily
capable of 650 RWHP on a mildly modified engine. We see no reason
to use a larger supercharger if your aspirations are 650 RWHP or
less.
The T-Trim is recommended for applications up to 750 RWHP. The
T-Trim can utilize smaller pulleys and make more boost and power
than the Si-Trim.
The last model is the YSi-Trim. This model is a V-7 which is not
self contained. It has straight cut gears and is louder than the
V-2 and V-3 units. The YSi is for extremely high output
applications and is not recommended for engines with stock
pistons.
V-2, V-3:
The Si and T-Trims are available in two
different models. The V-2 Si and V-2 T-Trim superchargers are
lubricated with pressurized engine oil. No oil changes will be
necessary. Each V-2 kit is supplied with a supply line and fitting,
a return line and a special tool to cut a clean hole in the oil
pan. The Corvette oil pan is aluminum and of sufficient thickness
to allow threads to be tapped in the wall to seal the return
fitting. There is no danger of oil leaks if installed according to
our instructions.
The V-3 Si and V-3 T-Trims are basically the same units but are
self contained. Each has a sump, holding 4 oz. of supercharger oil
and do not require and oil feed or return lines. You will need to
change the oil in the supercharger periodically, however.
Fortunately the V-3 head units have a convenient drain line
attached to the bottom of each unit. This makes oil changes very
simple. Both V-2 and V-3 models have helical cut gears and are
considered to be very quiet.
