adding a supercharger
My 2001 6 spd convert has a stock clutch, trans and diff, 28k and runs great. But, there is always more, right?
Current mods are Black Wing, ported TB, new delco wires and plugs, LT headers, Corsa X pipe and pace car mufflers. The car has been tuned by a well established tuner.
What I am looking for is some of your experience. In the hands of a competent driver (not me) what would you guesstimate for times at 60 feet, 1/8 mile and quarter mile. Then, I add a A& A Vortech with 6 to 8 pds boost and a fresh tune. What would you expect the difference (improvement) to be at each of the three distances?
Just for fun question
Thanks
Dave

1st combo 60' 2.00 1/8 8.30 89mph, and 12.50 @114
2nd combo 60' 2.20 1/8 8.15 @98 mph and 12.20 @ 127
All assuming you are on street tires if u are not then you it's a whole different story, 60' could be down in the 1.70 range on a sticky tire, so expect 12.1X and 11.20's, this is also a guess lol as I have looked for more 1/4 time but not many people with A&A kits drag race except for a few really fast built rides

Not going to the track (honest)
My question about adding the supercharger is to get some idea of how she 'feels' when I punch it. The car is really my baby but I like to push the pedal a bit while going through the gears. My tuner tells me that to get more current torque will be tough without engine mods, which I don't want to do. In fact, I drive with traction control on and rarely push to lose traction. Tires are all new Michelin sport run flat.
So am I thinking about an expensive mod that will give me lots of new power but at a rpm range I don't use much?
Thanks
