Has anyone seen a Supercharger like the ones on the gtp's, monti's for the f-bodys.

 

i wouldn't bother to be honest, i bet you can get the GTP's one to fit,

 

Isn't the GTP's supercharger a roots type? I'm assuming it would be A LOT easier to do a centrifugal setup.

 

why wouldnt you bother? there is alot of potential in a supercharged vehicle

 

it doesnt work people have tried it and i have heard it doesnt work

 

turbos give a greater performance upgrade, and are not parasitic like a blower.

 

Turbos are not free performance. They are not as parasitic as a blower, but they do indeed cost the engine power, in terms of much higher exhaust backpressures.

I haven't seen under the hood of a 3800 fbody in a long time, but I would imagine that a roots blower is going to require some kind of modification to the hood to fit. How far back does the 3800 sit?

 

I think all 4th gens sit too far back for a roots blower. I'd go centrigifical w/ alkanline injection.

 

yep thats the problem i heard the egine sits to far back and the blower sits to high up

 

there has been many fbodys with superchargers
some are in the 12s on supercharger alone
a supercharger is cheaper than a turbo

 

Yes it is a roots type supercharger. Also, it is a very bulk supercharger so it would be very difficult to mount this thing on top of the engine and clear everything. Other issues that come into play would be issues with the lower intake manifold, the cylinder heads, fuel system, PCM, and the accessories and belt routing.

 

Not to mention intake ducting since it would be at the back of the engine. It's a lot of work if you wanted to supercharge a regular Grand Prix, let alone the tight confines of the F-body engine bay. It's too bad that it isn't more of a simpler swap.

 

Yeah, there are a lot of fbodies out there with superchargers, but not with positive displacement superchargers. The overwhelming vast majority of supercharged fbodies are all running centrifugal superchargers.

There are fbodies out there that are in the 12s on tires alone, completely stock otherwise. There have been LS1 fbodies in the 12s totally stock, even down to factory rubber. I don't know if you were trying to impress with the "fbodies in 12s on supercharger alone comment", but that is not that impressive.

Superchargers aren't always cheaper than turbochargers. Depends on the vehicle.

 

If you are looking to make ur car a sleeper with a supercharge make sure its a 6 psi of boost which gives 60rwhp and 80hp at the crank. Dude just get a LS1; a sc cost around 2-3K dollars. Sell ur car and take the money you been saving for a sc put it throws a LS1. You save money and time by doing that.

 

this is the v6 forum, i know all about the ls1 stock times, I was obviously implying that there are v6s in the 12s with a super alone!
