Supercharged 383

I have been putting together a pretty high performance setup and am curious if anyone else has done this and will the Suspension hold up to put the power to the ground. I have a 92 camaro with a 383 with AFR 190 heads and a ATI D1X procharger and a Lingenelte Superram intake. I havent picked a cam yet cause I am waiting to see what is the best cam for my setup and haven't gotten comfortable with anything yet. I am curious if anyone has put together a combo like this will the suspension handle the horse power I am trying to put down. I am guessing about 800-900 Hp and pretty close to the same in torque. If anyone could help me or give me any advice that would be great.
Thanks

Not sure how well that intake is going to work with that much boost. Those are some small screws holding the lid on I would try and find something more like a TPIS mini ram or even a Victor converted over to EFI. If money is no object you could take a Hilborn intake and seal it up with some sheetmetal and make your own version of a Vortech Igloo

That blower with any decent cam will make 800hp if you really lean on it and your motor can handle it. I've seen a 355cid LT1 car make 724rwhp with a CC305 cam and a D-1x.

What do you have for suspension parts right now?

LCAs and relocation brackets would be a good start.

Then a torque arm, airbag in passenger rear spring, and SFCs.

Add a set of BFG DRs and you're set.

Ask for Darren and tell him Grip sent you for the best prices.

With 800 HP you are going to need frame ties, LCA, PHB, Air bag, Torque Arm, STB, slicks and drag shocks for weight transfer. You will need to remove the front sway bar also. That should be be a start. You may want to install a tubular k member also to save weight on the front of the car. You know you are going to need a cage . Hope that helps.
