I would get the supercharger. With a Z06 you are partly paying for the badge on the car. It is cheaper to build the one you have for more power.

the way the Z06 runs in the 07 year would be hard to beat. it is running everything but if you can get it out of the 05 supercharged do it

I would be sure that the block you have had the up dates to except a supercharger, such as different pistons and rings, updated bearing and rods. The heads on a factory supercharged engine is also different. If you just put a super charger on any engine it will blow it sky high. And yes you will have to change the exhaust system to accommodate the supercharger.

Sincerely yours,

First, hit the Corvette forums. There’s several thousand people there that know a lot more than we do.
If you want all out speed, just supercharge yours. If you want to corner as well, get the Z. Or spend about 5000 on aftermarket suspension goodies.
And if that blower is costing you $10k, then USD and CAN are nowhere close. $10k is a ripoff in any country.
