supercharger
I have a Magnacharger on mine and the temp is no higher than my wifes without the supercharger. I get about 1 mile per gallon better gas milage if i don't have my foot in it. If you buy an 05 you have to use high octane fuel to. The price of a supercharger all depends on if you can install it yourself & if you want polished or non-polished. PM me if you would like a super deal on a Magnacharger.

Supercharger
I have a 05 Redline and would like to put a supercharger on it real bad. I just found out that magnacharger does not have one for production yet. Cost is about $4,900.00 for best deal including shipping. Self install. Any advice or comments from anyone about 05 install would be appreciated.

I have had a Magnacharger on mine since about August 1 and love it 
My temp is no higher then when the system was stock. It added a lot of HP with out it feeling like you are going to rip out the rear. I had dyno my SSR before and after it picked up 115 HP and 102 ft lbs
QWRSSR is the guy to talk to about this about purchasing one of these babies

Magnacharger Supercharger
Aren't any of you guys afraid of what can happen when you put that additional 115 hp to the rest of the drive train that was not designed for it? I was going to go the supercharger route too, but when I see that GM upgraded the transmission for the '05 because of the additional 90 hp (maybe other reasons, too?), it scared me off. I wouldn't race or otherwise abuse it, but it still makes me leary of the potential trouble it could cause.
Now if I had an '05, I would have to make the move for the added horsepower of the supercharger. In dollars spent per horsepower gained, it's the least expensive way to improve your performance. :thumbs
