X-Charger help
 
for those of you with the pleasure of owning the x charger do you guys reccomend anything before the actual supercharger. like a new rear/gears/tlok or driveshaft or if were just running the supercharger would that be fine with the car as is. The only performance mod i have is an axleback. Do you suggest getting duel exhaust first or its fine. The X will probably come end of the year or early next but i was wondering if i should get anything before the supercharger.
Any input is appreciated. Thanks.

I would recommend getting dual exhaust and gears/t-lok or an 8.8 take off before you get the x.

I would get some type of limited slip differential, and I would upgrade the (crappy) factory driveshaft.

Freeing up the exhaust a bit with a freer flowing single or duals is also worthwhile.

looks like i got everything except the freakin' X itself..... lol.

so basically
-rear tlok gears
-driveshaft
-dual exhaust

i'd say the only important thing is the posi rear end. without better traction you wond get the full benefit of the supercharge. everything else is just if you have money to burn.

yeah good point like the x can run ok just if i get the new rear everything else is a bonus.

All those suggestions are good, but you can install an X on a totally stock car with no problems what so ever. Dave at Explorer Express did just that to get the X CARB certified. He also had the prototype intercooler on the car so it made even more power than one without it. So if you can't afford the supporting stuff you can still have fun with the X!

yep that is the nice thing about the x in an auto!
