how much boost does a supercharger create? on a TPI setup....what kind of hp gains would you see given you have a....350 tpi, headders, adjustable fuel pressure reg., hypertec chip, 8.8mmMSD wires, plenium ported, air fin in plenium, modified the MAF sensor(remove screens) K&N air filters?
Re: boost
depends on the supercharger and the pulley. You could put a mild Powedyne 4-6psi blower on there with stock bottom end and pick up 50-80hp without damaging anything or you could put a ATI Procharger F-1 and run 25psi of boost and pick up 600 hp......but you will blow the heads right off of that thing in addition to sending the crank through the oil pan in about 2 seconds. So you may need to narrow down exactly what you are thinking about doing to get a better idea how much hp you could see.

Re: boost
so here is my question, i was yelled at in 3rd gen engine tech for this by the way, electirc superchargers that push 1200 cfms would create a boost right? i know these are not the real thing, and i know how everyone feels about them, i dont think i even like them, but i want someones opinion on it....if your motor is only taking up lets say 750 cfms at wot then wouldnt the extra push from a supercharger help? i know you wouldnt see the gains like the real deal (which i will buy in a few years
) but dont you think you would see like 20 hp out of the thing.
again i am just saying, dont get mad i want answers to my thoughts, not coments like will it come with the tornado fuel saver too ( by the way that was funny)....just help me with some of the logic...

Re: boost
dont get me wrong...i still feel the same way about it...there probly worth as much as the deposit i left in the toilet just a lil bit ago....or maybe not atleast that can be used to fertilize the lawn later...lol....
Re: boost
What exactly are you getting at? Will more airflow into a cylinder help it create more power, yes! but I don't think an electric fan would be able to compress air no matter how much cfm it fill flow.
Re: boost
there is no 12 volt fan that can create pressure compared to that of a blower or turbo. Think of it this way, if you hooked up that electric blower to a battery and held the fins, it would not turn. The motor is not big enough to get the kind of amperage it needs to have enough force behind it for you to be able to stop it by hand. Now try and stick your fingers in the blower to stop the turbine from spinning. Don't actually do it because you will lose a finger. Another thing to think about. An electric motor would be running the same speed all the time. For blowers and turbos, they pick up speed the more rpm's it is given. Now if your electric blower is pushing 1200 cfm's at idle, that might not be good, so you would have to put some kind of venting system on there to release the extra air (this is kinda far fetched because like i said before, there is just not enough power behind one of those things to do any harm). So seems to me that in order to get an electric motor to even come close to comparing to a blower, you would need a fan about the size of the car and funnel the air to create enough pressure to actually give you some boost. Now, a fan like this cannot be powered by a 12v source. You would also need a generator to supply enough power to this monster to get the same effect. So instead of going through all of this, let your engine supply the power to a small under the hood blower or turbo and get boost to your hearts content (or to your engines content).
