Are there any sites with a suggested upgrade path?
For example, Eclipses have DSMtuners.com, which contains a tuning guide. Is there one for Trans Ams?
Also, about how much is it to supercharge the LS1, and what kits/superchargers are considered best?

Thanks.. I'm considering buying a Trans Am next year but know absolutely nothing about them.. going from imports and turbos to muscle and superchargers brings some major differences.

Yes I know you can, but in my opinion it's 4 cyl = turbo, 8 cyl = super.

Re: Are there any sites with a suggested upgrade path?
ProCharger for the LS1 runs about $5400 plus install. Can't run much boost either...compression is 10.1:1 stock.
LS1's love nitrous. They also like turbo's.

Super's like high comp, or low comp? Could always change the compression..
Never played around with NOS but don't really like the concept.. short burst of power.. besides, you gotta keep refilling the bottle. Not to mention direct port is expensive. Those sites are good, was looking more for a writeup than a forum but more reading can never hurt. Last edited by Vtec95Civic; 11-30-2005 at 01:42 AM.

Kinda what I figured but never played around with super chargers before.. so even if I went turbo I'd still have to do internal work to lower compression and strengthen the rods, pistons, etc, right?

Re: Are there any sites with a suggested upgrade path?
A stock LS1 can take about 7-8 PSI from a supercharger. Should make right around 500 RWHP.
Bottom end of the motor is good to about 550 RWHP, which you can get to with some bolt-ons and a blower. After 550 RWHP though...then it comes time to start upgrading the internals.

500 rwhp is fine by me. Considering right now I have about 100 fwhp.
