Hey everyone...
I am looking for "down the road" performance mods to do, without going turbo to get my SVT to 300whp.
I really like cars that are turbo, but just don't want to go through all of the hassle with adding new oil lines and other crap to toss a turbo onto my car. A lot easier if the car already has a turbo factory installed.
Now, back to the topic.
My goals are for every day driving with this car...
I am considering lowering the compression to 8.5.1 or slightly there abouts, with beefier cams, built bottom (ofcourse), head work, injector upgrades, computer work and smal other upgrades to allow my car to run whatever boost it takes to hit 300whp.
Now, how possible is it for a supercharger to allow my SVT to run up to 300whp with lowering the compression, increased head work and the other small mods? Would I need to run 20+ psi of boost on the charger? Are there any chargers that allow for 20+psi, or is there a limit with chargers (never worked with them before, so I am unfamiliar with the amount of boost they can run).
Would a charger be ideal for making low-mid-high end torque, or low-mid-high end power? Or would a turbo be more ideal for that?
I know you can't have everything when it comes to performace with the engine, just would like to get as much as I can without going overboard.
I am NOT looking to make my car a 1/4 beast. If I wanted that, I would have gotten a different car from the start. More or less a quick off of the line car +.. a good amount of trq. and a car that can pull and pull. Especially in a street racing type of environment. Something that can stick with a turbo Cobra Stang or a Turbo Supra on the road, if need be (example). Maybe not that close with them.. but something that could be respectable.. maybe a 12.00 - 12.99 1/4 mile IF I was to make it into a 1/4 car.
Or, if tossing in a turbo is the better way to go for me. I don't really want to dump $20k in the car for the V-8 conversion because I think putting a turbo on the car or a charger with proper mods could keep up with the V-8 conversion for a while, until you hit over 140mph.
I am not looking at taking the car past 120 - 140mph, so, if that helps with my question on the SuperCharger... Also, I would hope superchargers will advance a lot within the next 4 years (that is probably when I will put the charger OR turbo on the car).
Thanks,
Rory
