Given my MOds will my car handle a SC

Hey i have every mod on my sig plus cc306 cam and AFR heads(58cc Comb Cham). I was wondering if my stock bottom end would hold at least a a big P600B with Twin Intercooler. Aiming for HP daily driver.Maybe 500+RWHP.

Re: Given my MOds will my car handle a SC

So the good news is that you have a bunch of cool things done to your car so far....The bad news is that the stock cast pistons and crank in your LT1 are the weak part of the entire engine. These parts will not tolerate any type of forced induction. Save the money you were going to spend on the supercharger, and rebuild your motor to make better use of the parts you already have, and a supercharger further down the road. The bottom end needs to be entirely forged to apply any increased cylinder pressure. I am still making payments on my mistakes, I hope you don't end up in the same boat!!

I though so i just wanted to make sure so that the idea of FI wouldn't cross my mind before rebuilding and if rebuilding you can be sure of 383ci at least.

500rwhp blown Lt1s make poor choice of a daily driver.

I don't agree with that as a general statement. If the car is set up right, why not?
