C6 Corvette Supercharged

This 2006 Corvette came in during early 2026 very original, down to the brake rotors, and the fluids looked like they had never been changed. So before anything went on it, everything came out: brake, clutch, coolant, transmission, differential, and oil. It also got a water pump and new plug wires.

Then it got the A&A supercharger and intercooler. The crank was pinned first, which meant taking the steering rack out to get at it. The bumper, radiator, and fan needed modifying, and the intercooler charge pipe was shortened and bead-rolled. An MSD Atomic Airforce intake manifold went on after every intake port and mating surface was cleaned, I installed a 3-bar MAP sensor for boost, and I built a harness for a wideband and boost gauge, welding a sensor bung into the driver's side. A Glowshift gauge pod went on the left of the cluster. After a base tune, it got a custom dyno tune.

Fuel came next. A 525 LPH pump dropped in, with an external regulator with vacuum reference, a custom return line, and an upgraded pump harness. The tank crossover was rebuilt with custom tubes. On the outside I fitted Z06-style front wheel housing extensions, a front lip, side skirts, and rear fender trim, modifying each piece to fit the body.

The scope of work

It shares a C6 jacket with the red Z06, but they are very different beasts: this one is an LS2 6.0L with an A&A Vortech V-3 supercharger.

Engine

LS2 6.0L V8 with the crank pinned (steering rack out for access), a Summit Racing harmonic balancer, a new OEM water pump, GM red plug wires with plugs gapped to .032″, and a new AC belt

Supercharger

A&A Corvette Performance kit with a Vortech V-3 head unit and intercooler, with the bumper, radiator, fan shroud, and passenger fender liner trimmed to fit and the charge pipe and couplers shortened and bead-rolled

Intake

MSD Atomic Airforce intake manifold with a 92 mm throttle body, every port and mating surface cleaned, and an LS3 3-bar MAP sensor on an adapter harness

Fuel

FIC 1000cc injectors, a Racetronix 525 LPH drop-in pump with an upgraded jumper harness, a Radium external regulator damper with vacuum reference and gauge, a custom PTFE return line, and custom tank crossover tubes

Gauges and wiring

AEM X-Series wideband with its bung welded in on the driver's side, a Glowshift boost gauge on a custom harness, and a gauge pod on the left of the cluster with the dash trim modified to fit

Fluids

Brake fluid (Motul RBF600), clutch fluid, coolant, Redline MT-90 differential oil, synchromesh transmission oil, and power steering fluid all replaced, with the reservoirs pulled and cleaned

Body

OEM Z06 front wheel housing extensions with the fiberglass fenders modified, a front lip, side skirts, and Z06 rear fender trim, each piece fitted to the body

Tuning

Base tune, then a custom dyno tune, retuned again after the fuel system upgrade
