I would like to hear the everyones opinion on which power adder will be best suited to be KING. In order to be KING, the forced induction power adder will be rated from 1-10 on the street, strip, & track. A POLL will also be posted for you to vote on which power adder you believe will rock the charts. After you have voted on the poll, please post you opinion on each power adder option and your personal rating from 1-10 on the street, strip, & track.

 

I have personally owned 3 of 5 FI choices. Judging from what I have seen within the last 2 years, here is my rating :

Stroker Nitrous
Street : 9
Strip : 9
Track : 0
Total : 18

Stroker Centri
Street : 8
Strip : 8
Track : 8
Total : 24

Stroker Roots
Street : 8
Strip : 8
Track : 7
Total : 23

Stroker Turbo (Front Mount)
Street : 10
Strip : 9
Track : 6
Total : 25

Stroker Turbo (Rear Mount)
Street : 7
Strip : 9
Track : 5
Total : 19

 

whats the difference between strip/track here? we talkin like road courses for the track? because all of them would majorly suck besides the juice which would be off. (ask me how I know, it cost me a second car )

 

Strip : Drag Strip
Track : Road Coarse

 

all of the FI is gonna suck on the road course, maggie being worst with heat soak and timing retard, shortly followed by the front mounts, then the centrifiguals then the rear mounts. boost and high RPM's and blowby are gonna cause issues even with catch cans for oil....you're gonna get a few good laps then over temp. Hell even the nitrous car isn't ideal as a stroker for road racing. a juice motor is dialed back from an all out NA motor. (my NA 427 is still built for a 200 shot I couldn't go down to all motor, so I'm a victim here as well)

PD blowers have their place, i just dont' like them in vettes personally

centrifugals JBS and a few others get away with em... on road courses, on the street I like my paxton more than the turbos easier to pedal with the inherent loss of traction with a 346.....stroker even worse and more important.

front mounts + stroker? instant tire smoke on street and a hard time to get down the strip.

rear mounts, I had enough headaches with them, but honestly........my rear mount STS at 710 ran faster down the track than jersey jay's car because I could put the power down in 3rd and 4th and his car was still skating with 26 inch M/T's on the back.

Everything has its place, but my pick right now is paxton 346 forged for street, drag, and possibly backup road course if last minute stuff goes on with the NA car and its the difference of going or not (if doug tunes it I'll have half a clue what it makes) and his old 427 C5R rebuilt with LS7 top end and a lil more compression for road course, open road stuff (silver state is becoming a serious consideration), and boredom with juice (who cares what it makes, short shifting at 5300 I was shooting down teh straights faster than my 710/640 sts car because it wasn't pulling timing from heat issues.

 

You missed several of the best categories.

Forced induction via cent. supercharger, roots blower or twin turbo, on a forged 346/7 motor (no need for the extra thousands for a stroker, to run well into the 9s or even 8s in some cases) and kick azz on the street and road race venues also!

 

Didn't MTI run a stroker and spray on a road course and did very well if I remember correctly??

 

The only way you are going to spray on a road coarse is a long straight. How long will a bottle last in a 30 minute session..

 

Yes, their car that they were using as their poster boy about 5 years ago that won the 1 Lap of America Race, a race prepped EB C5 Z06, with their 427 C5R (Z07 engine) and N20.

 

I have done my fair share of road racing and a stroker is more than enough alone to get the job done and you will only need the nitrous on the straights. Depending on what the stroker puts down to the wheels NA you wont need a big shot for the straights and the cooling the nitrous will bring will help the overall performance of the track car.

All of the mentioned FI products will get you there. It all depends on your budget and your ultimate goal for the car.

 

what do you remember, you dont' even get on the track anymore...princess...

 

FI Poll sounds so weak. ITS A WAR ZONE HERE !
