Default MPH from Supercharger

From a stock 5.0 with an automatic trans to one with just a 50 state legal supercharger kit, how many additional mph could you expect to gain in 1/4 mile?

most of the stock auto and M6 cars will trap in the 100-110mph and a supercharged car can get in the 120+ range in the 1/4

For even MORE MPH, instal a Flux Capacitor!
Best bang for your buck mod there is.
AMAZING what the thing does!

LOL! So true so true!
When my speedo hits 88MPH.. in reality it is moving so much faster it is actually traveling faster than the speed of light.

That flux capacitor although EXPENSIVE, is the BEST mod out there by far!

if you plan on superchargering it anyways, I wouldn't worry too much about "stock numbers".. .hell, my 08 stock/auto is like 240whp (weak!)

A supercharger dont mean S*** as far as 1/4 MPH if you cant get traction. Spinning your wheels even with 2000 BHP would give you S*** y 1/4 speeds.

However, getting 6000 BHP crank and assuming you have the right tires and suspension, you could see around 120MPH.

hopefully with full slicks and upper and lower control arms, the car should get traction..
