Im thinking of finally doing something more than piddly stuff to get some power out of my 97z.. im looking for the best increase in power.. for the most reasonable price. Any and all suggestions.. dosent even need to be FAI related... (this guy is a rookie.. i know your thinking it.. lol)

Any and all help is appreciated

 

http://www.procharger.com/ check them out. Have them send you thier information. Some of the best supercharger systems Ive seen.

 

If you're interested in forced induction, you'll get more responces posting in that forum.

 

i figured i'd take the more specific approach and post in lt1.. but thanks for the suggestion...

 

Best increase in power for a reasonable price? Then its not supercharger or turbo...its nitrous hands down!

If you are definately going forced induction, I would probably go with a supercharger. You can get a complete Procharger setup for around $3K-$4k, where a strong turbo setup is at least $6K.

very custom/useful turbo system... cheap, and easy to install, and sounds BAD ***

 

HAHA, I like how they explain why remote mounting of turboes is better on that www.ststurbo.com, it shows a glowing turbo next to an engine it looks like and says, "Do you really want this in your engine compartement." Yet they mount the turbo right underneath the gas tank of an LT1 fbody .

I think I would much rather have it in with my engine.

 

if you read you will see it does not heat up the fuel tank...

 

I can't imagine having the turbo that far away is very good for throttle response. And since the turbo is that far away from the heads, exhaust gasses have a chance to cool, lessening their ability to spin the turbo faster, not including the additional friction losses from having to travel the exhaust system to the back of the car before hitting the turbo.

I'll take poorly engineered designs for $1000 Alex!
