How Much Does It Cost to Supercharge a V6?

Overkill supercharger system components for the GM 3.6 V6

Tracy Lewis Performance |

A complete bolt-on supercharger system for the GM 3.6 V6 starts at $6,999 for Stage 1. Stage 2 is $7,999. Those prices include the Procharger head unit, the full intercooler system, the pulley and bracket system, a catch can system, and the supporting parts needed to install it — not just the blower.

The figure people usually miss is what sits around the kit: tuning hardware, HP Tuners credits, and on some cars a TCM unlock.

What the kit price covers

Option Price
Stage 1 system $6,999
Stage 1 with HP Tuners MPVI4 interface $7,398.99
Stage 1 with MPVI4 and credits $7,598.99
Stage 2 system $7,999
Stage 2 with MPVI4 and credits $8,598.99

Every Stage includes the Procharger unit, the Overkill 8-rib pulley system, a full air-to-air intercooler setup with blow off valve and machined MAF housing, a catch can system, a full intake with K&N filter, AC Delco plugs designed for boost, a boost-reading MAP sensor, and the fittings, harness extension and vacuum lines needed to complete the job.

The costs people forget

HP Tuners credits

Tuning a modern GM requires licensing the vehicle's modules with HP Tuners Universal Credits, purchased separately. Many vehicles need 2 credits for the ECM. 2016 and newer Camaros and Cadillacs require 4 credits for the ECM, and 4 more if you also want the transmission tuned — 8 in total.

TCM unlock on 2017 and newer

On 2017+ model Camaros, the TCM must be unlocked before it can be tuned. We now do the unlock remotely at no added charge, so it no longer adds to the cost.

Installation

The system is a 100% bolt-on install that a competent home mechanic can complete in a weekend, so labor is optional. Installation at our shop in Palmetto, Florida is available if you would rather not do it yourself.

Fuel system, at higher Stages

Stage 2 on the LFX includes larger capacity injectors and a ZL1 in-tank low pressure fuel pump. Stage 3 adds the larger D-series Procharger head unit and full fuel system upgrades.

Is it worth it against the alternatives?

The comparison most people make is against swapping to a V8 or buying a different car. A Stage 1 kit puts a 3.6 V6 into V8-like power territory for a known, bolt-on cost, keeps the car you already own, and is fully reversible if you sell it.
