Glad to hear she is running good! You got to get her to the track! :thumb:


It's a centrifugal supercharger right? Seeing as it does not "whine" really loud like a roots type blower on the cobras.

All I have to say is if you don't have intake, gears, headers, and suspension mods - you should be shot! .... If you have that all covered - then good job :D

First... :rotfl: bottles are for babys, real men get blown. :rotfl:

Yep. Centrifugal supercharger. :nod:

My son took it for a spin and came back with his eyes real big. First thing he said was “Dad… we need to get this thing to the track!” Love that guy!

Check coming your way ;) lol

Please tell me you atleast have the intake and headers covered??? I couldn't imagine tossing on a supercharger and not having atleast some supporting cast members :D Well, I couldn't imagine tossing a blower on my car, mainly due to the 10.5 compression ... and the fact that I love NA. A set of gears should really wake the car up though ;)

I think you are going to have difficulties hooking up with no suspension mods. You are really going to have to roll into the throttle...

If you don't have drag radials, you will need them. That is if you want to hook up decent without changing upper/lower control arms, etc. and if you plan on racing frequently. Nitto, BFG, and Mickey Thompson all make a pretty good drag radial. Nitto will give decent traction and wear a little slower than the other two mentioned if you were going to use it as a street/strip combo tire. BFG will hook a little better than the Nitto, but it wears a lot faster at both the track and certainly a lot more with street use. The Mickey Thompson drag radial will hook better than both and wear faster than both. Drag radials are a pretty good bang for the buck though ;)

I still have plans for 12 flat in the quarter in my Camaro with heads/cam and keeping it 350 cu in. Long way away from that though..... Ford 9" will be dropped in long before that. Hopefully next summer I will have enough cash to do it. Then comes the heads/cam savings... Once I reach 12 flat ...and if there is still an itch to go faster after that, it will become a 383 or 396 stroker :D I really don't want a cage in it though.... :(

Before I can drop another pulley size on my S/C, I need headers or PEM's. Kinda stinks, but gotta pay to play :)

When a baby sprays and blows by you, is he still a baby? :D Whatever makes you faster makes you faster, thats the whole idea of it.
