Ill have a lot more down the road so I was thinking about getting the car ready for a Supercharger, what you think I should do in preparation for the SC. Full exhasut is a must so I got that picked what next.
Thanks Guys.

I think you should Build your motor. (your self or friends if mechanical to save ALOT of money on Labor) and Buy a Used Procharger Kit.
Or Do:
Full Exhaust
Tb& Plenium
Tuner Sct Xcal2 or Livewire
and Build your Motor...

Dont get Pulleys.... and if you going with a Twin Screw S/c dont get a Upper INtake Plenium.

I will send you a PM with my address and info. I will accept in the form of money orders or travelers checks


Seriously though, You should have more than enough to buy the supercharger and all the supporting mods. The s/c should run you about $3500-4500 depending on what brand you choose. I would then get full exhaust with LT headers, CAI system. A set of blower cams would also be a nice addition, but isnt a have to. If you do get the s/c, a dyno tune is a must. A tune will help you get the most out of all the other mods but isnt necessary.

You stock block will hold up to about 450 hp, and as long as you keep the boost down around 8psi you shouldnt have and problems going over that. If at some point you want to go higher, thenyou should look at a forged motor. VT engines makes them with your choice of heads and cams for very good prices.

but if you go superchager get an intercooler, full exhaust with LT headers, CAI system, upper and lower control arms and some sticky tires, and keep the boost under 8.5 psi on a factory block.

Supercharger, custom tune, save the rest.....invest it. Don't be in a rush to get it all done. Take some time to figure out what you really want. Hell, maybe that SC will be enough to make you happy then you can buy your girl a nice rock or something. You can also buy me a new butt cause mine has a crack in it! OH SNAP!

ORIGINAL: thbdjacks

what exactly is forged internals?
stronger pistons, rods and crankshaft. They are called forged cause the are stronger than stock (think they are called powder) billet would be better, but i dont think youll make enough power to warrant those. haha
