Do superchargers hurt your engine? I'm thinking about getting a vortech SC, will it do any damage? thanks,

not inless you have a weak link such as bad compression or worn out valve seals. best to do a compression/leakdown test first. i have the same charger on my floor right here it is very nice.

As long as your motor is healthy to begin with you shouldn't have any problems as long as you keep the boost to a moderate amount. If you do have a weak link it'll just point it out for you so either way you win.
