i am loking to put a supercharger in my Z28 and i have no idea what kind i should get or how much performance they add so just fill me in with the info that would be appreciatied thanks.

 

Got to some supercharger websites and request some catalogs. ATI Procharger always struck me as a good one, also Vortech. Powerdyne also makes one.

ya ive seen those around i just want to read some review on them all to find out which are more reliable because they all do the same thing right?

 

If you post this in forced induction you will probably have better luck. Also try searching for it in forced induction. Good luck.

 

I would honestly recommend doing a search in the force induction forum. If you are not willing to do a rebuild on your short block then a blower is not for you.

 

if you need more info its a 1996 Z28 and i just want to know which superchargers are nice and what i will have to do to my car if i get one

 

Stock bottom end, you can spend about $3500+ to make an extra 50-100 hp at the wheels (relatively safely...) That's assuming about $2500 for a s/c kit,$500 for misc stuff like plugs, plumbing, etc. and another $500 to have it professionally dyno tuned to make 4.5 to 6 lbs. of boost. That's assuming you can install the tough parts yourself and get it tweaked by the pro...

If you want to do it right, look at spending closer to $10,000+.

For that you can get the above plus a rebuilt, forged, bottom-end and can probably crank up the s/c output to almost double your horsepower. 500 rwhp is not out of the equation at that level...

Keep in mind these estimates will probably prove to be low, rather than high...

 

well i dont want to spend quite that much so what else can i do besides supercharging to get some more horsepower i already have intake and exhaust so what else can i do?

 

Nitrous

 

I am assumming you have headers sense you said exhaust, but if not then get some headers. You could go with a good cam, then ported heads with good valve springs rr's, and all that good stuff that would cost near as much as a s/c.

 

do u mean wouldn't cost as much as a cupercharger cuz i can get taht but then all the other crap is a lot, so if i got that how much HP would i get outa it

 

I don't know how much you would gain with heads and a cam. I imagine you could be around 335-350rwhp with p&p heads, a big cam, full exhaust and intake. I say do what I have mentioned above then run a 100-150 shot of nitrous. But to run nitrous you might need to build the motor up more to handle it. I have no exp. with nitrous.

 

You could get an STS kit . hahahahaha.

GS355

 

and still blow your motor

 

I would honestly look at getting your heads ported and going with an aftermarket cam.
