A&A Corvette C5 Supercharger System | 1997–2004

A&A Supercharger System for C5 Corvette, 1997–2004

A&A’s street-oriented C5 system combines an intercooled Vortech supercharger with fuel-system upgrades. A&A describes this system as capable of supporting up to 700 rear-wheel horsepower with proper engine preparation. Actual output depends on the engine, supporting equipment and tuning; this is not a guaranteed power figure. For builds targeting more than 700 RWHP, A&A recommends its separate C5 Stage II Street and Strip system.

The system features A&A’s proprietary Ram Air intercooler design, a fully adjustable billet belt tensioner and an airflow-focused design through both the intercooler and radiator. Fully polished components are standard, with an optional satin black finish.
