383 or supercharger
 
I have a 96 camaro z28..
I have a few bolts ons intake, exhaust, headers.
I'm trying to deside either to build a 383 or just get a supercharger.
I've been looking into vortechs, and superchargers, but really haven't found any for sale, so if you can send me a link to one, if thats the way to go superchager, not 383.

What is your budget? Desired power level? Purpose of the vehicle?

These factors play a big part on which direction is the best overall depending on your goals.

$5000
im looking to make a street car.
Im not trying to change my gears in it.
And i want it to atleast be around 12s with the stock gears.

If you are looking for 12s for $5k, I would just stick with your stock shortblock and get a nice heads/cam setup. Go with a LE2 or AI setup and I think you will be happy. Blower builds are $ and a budget 383 on a $5k won't be all that amazing.

Including the supporting mods for a nice heads/cam setup may come in under $5k even and if that's not fast enough, throw on some nitrous :)

I'm kind of new with this whats a LE2 or AI setup?

MikeGyver 10-17-2010 08:19 PM

Also if you build a motor you'll have a brand new motor :D

so with the LE2 and a 50 shot?...where will i be?

RamAir95TA 10-17-2010 10:11 PM

A 50 shot is laughable. Go with the AI 200cc's and a 150-shot and you'll be smoking. But you are limiting yourself by not changing the gears (btw, what transmission?). The more details the better.

jdelaprida 10-17-2010 10:46 PM

I'm probably going to change me gears to 3.73s...i would do 4.11s but in the summer i want to be able to go down the shore on the highway and not be at 3000rpms.
and 4l60e, i rebuilding it this spring.

jdelaprida 10-17-2010 10:57 PM

On my camaro now i have a cold air intake, ordering the slp lm2 tuesday, got a msd coil in my garage, spring time when I'm rebuilting my trans, thats when ill probably buy the 3.73 gears. Otherwise after i do that ill probably get a nos system, and the LE2 or AI 200cc

Nitrous when done safely and correct power levels isn't as bad as some people make it out to be. The problem is people that try to run a 250 shot on a $400 kit on their Neon and expect it to live.

Consider dropping a grand on a good quality nitrous kit with all the proper safety measures good heads and cam package and you will have a screamer compared to what you are used too...

Are you guys use stock pzm's or are you reflashing?

RamAir95TA 10-18-2010 08:42 PM

Stock PCM programmed as needed. "Reflashing" is just reprogramming the stock PCM for whatever you need.

jdelaprida 10-18-2010 08:46 PM

where do you send your pcm to get reflashed or programmed?

RamAir95TA 10-18-2010 08:50 PM

I use www.pcmforless.com and have been for the last 10 years. There are several other programmers available though...
