how much hp boost will i see at the wheels if i bolted a paxton supercharger w/ a 6 lb boost to my stock 94 trans am a4?

 

Depending on the wether and elevation, you may see 5-7.

 

5-7 hp boost from a supercharger?!

 

no, 5-7 psi of boost.

you should see about 80 rwhp with everything stock. headers will help you get to 100-110rwhp out of it, but I doubt you'll fit headers on with a paxton kit (unless you do something like this.

 

That looks like an outstanding way to heat the intake charge!

 

 

ha ha.

Everything's jet-hot coated, so the heat generally exits the exhaust... I also have a suncoast predator hood that just lets air into the engine compartment and heat extractors to let it out the back.

At 6psi on the dyno, I saw 137* IATs at 80* ambient temp with high humidity (STL area). For a non-IC setup, I ain't complaining. The air don't stay in the intake tubing long enough to get heated.

 

Thats actually pretty damn good for a 6 psi set up, My friends powerdyne with 6psi would see like 150 degrees on a ~90 degree day at ~120MPH. Just to let you know, I was not laughing at your set up but more of the funny comment that was made.

Thx,

I know it was a joke, hence the

I spent a whopping $1000 on the entire setup, so I'm definitely happy with what I got... I'll just upgrade head units later (low compression motor coming together) and the superfueler and MSD box will work with whatever I drop in.

I'm planning on selling the paxton head unit, brackets, and pulleys to recoup most of the money... If I get my dead 6BTM repaired and get ahold of any brand FMU, I could sell it as a whole kit to someone in the $750ish range... Maybe charge an extra $100 for the custom slip-fit primary for hooker/jet-hot long tubes to go with it.
