To Supercharge or not...that's the question
I've been thinking of installing a Paxton Supercharger over the winter, the only thing is right now the compression is a little high for that.
Money on pistons/cam/supercharger, or NOs ?
best et so far is 9.97 @ 129.8 1.42 60'

How much compression does it have? And are you thinking Injected or Carb'd?
compression is 13:1 I was thinking the blow through carb design. But I'd really like to keep it simple, I'm not sure how muck work is involved with maintaining a supercharged set up. I might be at my limits with the current combination, I thought a supercharger might get me the extra two or three tenths I'm looking for, but I know it's a domino effect...plus I'd rather race it than work on it...dragracers are never happy.Originally Posted by x-bred1
Take it from a guy with two supercharged.........well now only one supercharged car. Put a bottle on it and be done. Superchargers do make awesome power, but belts suck! I'm putting a turbo on my car for just that reason. I played the belt slip game for so many years.
If I had money like Henry Ford, Lord I’d have me a woman on every road, But someday baby,You ain’t worry my life anymore
People say he's a nice, but they also said that about Ted Bundy

Now you tell me.......................
Leave the compression where it is and, turbo that thing!
In all fairness you can make a belt sure charger work with time and patients… But in hindsight after doing this and now having a turbo.. I would flat out pick turbo right from the get go…Its way more consistent and way easier on parts…
what turbo, brand, manufacturer should I look into...I'm sure there's not a simple bolt on kit, or is there? I can cut, weld and grind if I need to. I seen a ton of cars at the track with turbo's and they are impressive, but all have one thing in common, they're bolted on EFI cars, I wonder how a carburator application would fare, I don't have much room for an intercooler. Dumb question because I don't know...is there a need for a trans brake anymore to launch a turbo car?
Juice or turbos. Blowers belt problems suck. I switched from a blower to turbos years ago .. No looking back.
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.
you definitely have less room than I do too, might need to join the bandwagon for sure.
