has anyone had luck with the supercharger?

Post by fearedvibe »

for the price, I'm tempted to go with the new STS turbo kit or posible nos. 3000.00 for only about 50hp is kind of steep. I would realy like to get atleast 150hp more or so. I started talking to the local supplier of STS (bottlefed racing) and i'm thinking about it. anyone have any other info?

If you buy a GM part, you're going to pay a lot for a little! If you want serious HP, then you almost have to go turbo. Either way, let us know how it goes! Welcome to the site.

Since you live in Sanbernadino, its less than 90 minutes to Lancaster to STafford Fabrication. They are backed up in getting their kits out, but if you have it installed there, you can make an appointed time. You can get that 150 hp with that kit, but running that much extra in this motor will kill it if you run it like that all the time... 100hp over stock is extremely impressive..You cant get too greedy
