1991 L98 Forced Induction
Hey all, I am looking to add some Forced Induction into my 91 L98. I would like to put a turbo on it, to get some more top end as the L98 has a lot of torque. However, I am not really finding any kits available. So I searched for superchargers and came across a few ProCharger kits. They say the car will be 435 to the flywheel with the kit I'm looking at. Just curious if anyone on here has put either a turbo or supercharger on a similar Vette and what were your end results? Also, what other mods are recommended to boost the Vette.

- 435HP is pure crapulance!My suggestion based on my experiences is it will take at least double the cost of the procharger kit to make it run right - even if you do the install yourself. You are much better off just rebuilding your motor with a stroker kit as you will be more HP out of it for less $ and it will run reliably.
Last time I dynoed my 90 some years ago, I was getting short of 320 HP at the rear wheels which translates to approximately maybe 360 at the crank. But that is with a whole lot of extra's that procharger don't include.

As far as I know just a cat back. It's my Dad's and he's had it for a while so not 100% sure. But it would just be a cruiser, but lots of spirited driving/red light launches.
