    You could go for a rotrex supercharger which is basically the inlet side of a normal turbo which will hit plenty of boost and there is plenty of kits for your car. You may need to run bigger injectors and fuel pump with your high comp. 11.5 is high enough but modern turbos run that comp but they have knock and map sensors running all the time to pull the boost back if needed.
    Wow. Never heard of rotrex. Reading up on it. Seems to be the real deal and it's less than have the price of what Ive seen for supercharges. Thanks for the heads up.

    No hassle. You are near Dallas aint yeh? Try going to 21st century cars in Dallas we randomly visited there when I was in tx 2 years ago and they had a twin turbo camaro in there with a zo6 c5 twin turbo too and a modded ctsv also.
