Supercharger help
Hi all,
I was researching sperchargers and founf you site and it seem very good and I would like to your guys thoughts.I have an 89 with L98 and auto tranny.The motor and tranny are tired so its time for a rebuild.I am thinking about a spercharger and what to know so info.I see some of you guys have them and would like to know if I need build the engine stronger or can I go back stock? Do you know where to get an engine rebuild kit? What happens to the mass airflow? can I run stock injectors?What kind of chip do i need?Do I need bigger throttle body?can i run stock intake runners?Does it put alot of strain on you motor?Do you uses yours for daily drivers?Any any do and don't you guys have encountered?
The kits i have seen are all around 4,500$ thats more than i want to spend since i have to get a motor and tranny too.Is there a cheaper way.I dont want to go crazy so only 6lbs of boots is fne with me.Any info you can give me would be appericated?
Thanks

The degree of your engine rebuild will depend on the level of performance desired. My kit will push 9-10 psi, and I'm not concerned about the bottom end at this point.
Sometimes you can find some deals on kits. I got mine for a descent price. And, if you wanna go with an older style blower, you can pick one up at a serious discount.

I have an ATI kit available for an '87, which in all likelihood will bolt right up to your '89. If you do not go nuts on the boost (6-8 psi) and tune properly, the engine will last fine in stock form.
