turbo/supercharger

[formulaD]

do u guys no of any good/cheap turbo or supercharger kits for 95 firebird formula and is 133k to many miles to put one on i want more POWER

[92zcamaroperson]

STS sells a turbo kit and procharger sells a supercharger.

with 133K most people will say no way. Will it give you more power? but for how long? thats the unknown. I would get rebuild the engine or get a different one before hitting the forced induction route.

[Savage Messiah]

as long as the engine has been taken care of 133k is nothing.

[formulaD]

everthing thing in the engines pretty much been replaced i feel that a superchargers a safer route then nos whats the cheapest kit u guys no off (that sounds bad) right now im doing the quarter in 12.9 i want to do better

[poormillionaire2]

Whatever you do, make sure to get an intercooler too. Better safe than sorry.

im a fan of turbo setups whether its rear mounted or in the engine bay. plus its a little more economical. but with the supercharger you have instant power so...thats up to you.. you will be spend 3-4 thousand for a new kit either way

hell i dont think it maters much n2o, S/C or turbo...an weak engine will go boom with either of the 3..... i myself and the spray master....works fine and my shit is on a 135k engine

[formulaD]

at first i wanted nos cause its cheaper u dont have to use it all the time and i think its cooler but everones telling me a turbo is safer

[philly rs]

u will hear different from everyone...the bottom line is u will break sum shit no matter what the hell set up u go with....just gotta build the damn thing correct from the getty up! n2o is as safe as the way u build it. i havent blown my shit up and this is the second car im spraying...out of 20 people i know with it i may be able to say 1 person had a problem with spraying. but power wise im talking about a beast...i guess u would need to go S/C. i dont want my car at 500hp all the time, i just want that when i need it so spray is good for me

[formulaD]

how much estimate i good setup would cost nos

So I take it you lost to that SRT-4?

[formulaD]

not till this saturday ill be honest if i lose

[poormillionaire2]

If you do get forced induction, you'll have to keep it at low boost, until you rebuild the engine. Don't want to risk anything with an older used engine.

[formulaD]

like 8 psi or lower i was running 15psi in my honda but i had new pistons and less miles

[poormillionaire2]

DEFINATELY LOWER than 8psi. Stock LT1 static compression is a stout 10.5:1. The most boost I've heard recommended on a stock LT1 on pump gas is 8psi intercooled and 6psi non-intercooled. Seeing that yours has a considerable amount of miles on it, I wouldn't push more than 4psi. But that's me and an estimation, no real proof to back that number up. Just keep in mind LOW BOOST.
