Default Supercharger question

Is there a super charger on the market that will allow me to keep my shaker hood? Also not related to super chargers, what axle back exhaust do you guys reccommend? And finally 3.73's or 3.90's.

'07 GT Auto, cold air kit, shaker hood

I've seen guys modify the shroud on the shaker to work with centri superchargers, but I doubt it retains any functionality.

Axle back: I won't recommend. You have to hear the different options and decide for yourself. (Youtube has plenty of clips.) Exhaust note preference is completely subjective.

Rear gears: If you do go with a centri, I'd say 4.11s. (Despite popular opinion, the difference in gas mileage between 3.73s and 4.11s is negligible.) If you end up opting for a twin screw, you'll discover that anything lower than stock is nearly unstreetable on street tires.

centri blowers will allow u to keep the shaker and have it functional. With a TS you can keep it(you'll have to modify it more than with a centri) but it really cant be functional from what I've seen

with an auto tranny most have been successful with 3.73s


btw the 8.8 in our cars take 4.10s - not 4.11s

Saleen is making a shaker intake for their supercharger. Should be available to the public in the next month or two. It was at SEMA.

You could probably use it with the Vortech/Paxton. The Procharger relocates the air filter to the rear of the enine bay, so it would take some considerable modding.

Most companies market them as 4.10s, but 4.11s are available as well. Yukon Gear makes a 4.11 kit for ford 8.8 inch rear ends.

Axleback.. Baaaaaaah... Side exhaust FTW! Sounds cool, and looks AWESOME when you're doing smoke shows.. The exhaust blows the smoke out sideways. Cool stuff!!
