thank you.

If you've got a supercharger, then you would have setup going to your intake that would look like this:



But if you can follow the piping from your air filter, right up to the intake of your engine, then you have no supercharger nor turbocharger. But pics would help so as to be able to answer your question better. As for your HP, if you do in fact have no supercharger, then you would have around 275 HP.

hi blinxeye,

l think l do not have supercharger or turbocharger.. l just checked my enngine again, i think it is just air filter.. now l will try to send you the pics..

[doodad]

l am sorry guys, l didnt know about uploading images but now l know..

here are the pics which l was trying to send you guys.. l am sorry again..

Nope, your naturally aspirated my friend. Or in lamens terms.. no supercharger.

If you would like to learn more about engines and understand how things under your hood work. Then I invite you to check out HowStuffWorks.com and read their "how car engines work" section here:

hi blindxeye..

thanks for helping but l wonder why everybody tells me that my car's engine sound is different than normal V8's?? my car's sound is like monster, like drag racing cars sounds.. why is it like that?? what do you think??

Thank you..

[Matt365]

pipes? headers? idk if its stock.

[doodad]

l do not know, maybe...

[blindeyed]

My guess would be that maybe you have an exhaust leak? I'd really have to hear it for myself to be able to help you out better.

hi blindxeye...

how can l make you listen?? do you have any idea??
also. l have no idea about exhaust leak.. maybe..
thank you..

u got a video camera u can record it running and then rev it once or twice, make sure u have the volume up good, then ask john about a place that hosts videos (im sure he knows one being a mod and all) then we can click download and listen.
