Default Re: Supercharger

"Does anyone know how much horsepower can the 6 speed manual gearbox handle?"

Plenty, more than what a light boost supercharged 4.2L would make! ;-)

Default Good points! Turbos are a pain to fit and the heat issues as well.

Most of the aftermarket products I've seen look like they were slapped on. The Paxton photos look better but the manifold looks awful IMHO.

Default Dan, I fear you are misusing the cheese here. - and

you really need to visit more often to learn cheese phraseology. When correctly employed it makes for a happy forum. That is all.

Default Vortech is a centrifugal compressor, correct?

It does not make boost off the line, needs to be spun up like a turbo, and I think a positive displacement compressor would best suit our cars, being they are big and heavy. Give it more torque.

Dan, can you fix a stuck blow-off valve or is it better to replace it? LOL

greenie is right Paldi! Cheese phraseology should not be discussed openly.
