Supercharging suggestions

After the holidays my engine is being pulled out to be rebuilt. I was looking to just do the bottom end but i cant find a kit for just that. Anyway, upon reassembly, the heads will be port and polished along with the upper and lower intake, it will have headers, matched throttle body and a more aggressive cam (not sure what 1 yet). Anway, I plan to supercharge the engine. I know they dont make kits for my car, so i figure ill do a custom job. I need to find a suitable supercharger first though. Anyone have any suggestions?

Also tell me anything else you guys think i should do. And no "get a v8" comments lol

**suspension and drivetrain work will also be done**

Re: Supercharging suggestions

there is a supercharger for our cars, its called a powerdyne. you can get them at lmperformance.com. and costs $3,800. but you can get the better performacne gains from a 85 or 100 shot. you should consider NOS because you said you are rebuilding your engine and you are putting in diffrent internals.

Re: Supercharging suggestions

Lets say i wanna run a..say 75-100 shot. What internals are the ones i should worry about the most, and what are the ones that will do the job stock, but would be a good idea to get stronger ones say later on down the road?

Re: Supercharging suggestions

worry about the pistons, however you will be able to run a 75 shot fine, a 100 would be pushing the limits on a 3.8L

Re: Supercharging suggestions

its a 3.4L lol. Anyway, even with forged crank, rods and pistons, along with ported upper and lower intake, heads, tb and a cam, would a 100 still be pushing it?

yeah .. making 200HP at the wheels

you "could" safely run more than a 100 shot with a 3.4L with better internals, jerrico ran a 125 (i think) shot and warped his heads, but he was not using head studs so the head bolts stretched and let the heads flex

and josh is supposedly running a large ammount of crack, but ive never heard any of his times or troubles

your stock crank and rods should be able to take a 100 shot, its mainly the pistons are the biggest thing to worry about

Re: Supercharging suggestions

The 3.4 has a cast nodjular iron crank (like the LT1)and forged rods form the factory.
The stock rods are hard but not super hard like tool steel but there up there.
