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?
|
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?
|
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.
|
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. |
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?
|
Stock PCM programmed as needed. "Reflashing" is just reprogramming the stock PCM for whatever you need.
|
where do you send your pcm to get reflashed or programmed?
|
I use www.pcmforless.com and have been for the last 10 years. There are several other programmers available though...
