super charging

[gwiesem]

im thinking about putting a votrch on with 8-10psi with my stock engine.can anyone tell me what kind of performance i would have.also would a cam help.im lookin to go 12s with my notch with 3.73s

i recomend putting a bigger throttle body and a better intake then stock.. that will help a make a big differance.

 

[deadlast]

usually around a 50% in hp and 40% in tq at around 7-8psi. cam would make a big difference, but youll need a fuel pump and injectors before that

How many miles on the car? How often do you drive it?

I jsut put a vortech with 9-10psi in my stang, i also did injectors, upper/lower intakes, TB, MAF sensor, Adj. Fuel Press. reg., etc.

I dynoed 202rwhp is May, My tune after the S/C, on a slipping clutch, i put down 332rwhp and 365lb ft once i sort out my drivetrain issues they are going to re-tune it and i should get a little more power.

Jeeze.....I wish i would not have wasted money on a budget HCI......for a little more i could have just had a charger

It is nice, although i have a few oil leaks that popped up, i think it's either the rear main and/or oil pan gasket.

pros and cons to everything, its not always fun and games. just more stuff to break. dont get me wrong, im running about 91/2 to 10 lbs and that pull is just sweet.

I thing I will do the same thing not do the H/C and just the supercharger. It is like more HP for less money and if it is not powerful enough then when I get more money the H/C will go on.

if your running stock heads with a 8-10 lb blower id go with e303 cam. Put on a decent intake a 70mm tb, upgrade MAF, and bigger injectors and pump

I have stock heads and stock cam, and the numbers i'm putting down, from what i was told from Nelson's , are VERY good for having stock H/C

I am currently doing a DIY supercharger, I am going to run an eaton M90 at 5-6 psi, home make the tubing, buy an air filter, buy a vortech crank pulley, longer throttle cable, and make the brackets and I'll have a supercharger kit.

I plan on paying under 400 for everything, but yall lnow how this works, lol I plan on paying under 400, but it will be probably over 600 by the time I am done.

Still, 600 for a blower you cant beat that. And to just think you fabbed it up all by yourself. Keep us updated b/c id like to fab one of those up someday

 

[grey5.0beast]

will do, when parts start coming in, I'll make a progress thread to have a good write up for yall to know how to do it!

I'd say that's not completely accurate.
H/C/I when done is about $2500 with good parts.
So is the supercharger setup. Don't be fooled by the price of an SC vortech, it's still missing a few odds and ends that add up.

I've seen plenty of h/c/i cars beat supercharger only cars. Including races myself. Most guys i know with good hci run mid to low 12's, most guys i know with SC's only run the same or slower.
I'll Take NA power over aspirated power any day of the week, when the hp numbers are equal.

Besides with the h/c/i, you get fresh gaskets, new heads that obviously have new seals, basically a complete top end rebuild.

With the supercharger and original gaskets, expect oil to be blowing out all over the place, and worst of all a possible blown head gasket.

I just feel if you know you are going to have a supercharger sometime do the supercharger first. Because if you do the H/C/I it not may not be the best for boost when you get it. Say its a year later after you do the H/C/I and you get a supercharger you might have to do the cam again. There was someone on here that had AFR 165 and 61cc exhaust ports with out boost and said he lost power put worked great with his vortech. I think he had a ford F cam. I do see your point and I under stand what your saying
