what are the highest numbers yall have seen in a supercharger (not ST/TT).
anybody ran one with built internals?

 

highest is around 510whp i think

 

Who got over 500whp besides Derek from DSport Mag ?

 

that's who I was talking about

 

what r the smallest numbers you will get from a average supercharger?

assuming stock Z, no other modifications

 

Someone got I think 575 to the wheel on an ATI but that was with a 50 shot of nitrous I believe.

 

Im sure you could get as low as you wanted in reality for HP numbers by just underdriving it a bunch.

 

stillen stage 1 will gain you like 35-40whp

 

that's less than my popcharger

 

Stillen

300 WHP...

With Upgrades 320 MAX...Owned 3 of them...

Procharger and Vortech...320-380 WHP
Up to 500 with Super Mods...Great Tuning...

The main limiting factor with superchargers that I see is that our engine is not big enough to turn a larger head unit with all of the factory accesories. I think that if you were running no power steering and no A/C you could run a slightly larger unit (procharger uses a C2, you could upgrade to the D-series that comes in mustang kits). Or if you had the engine stroked.

However, if you used serpentine belts to get rid of slippage you could possible run a larger unit yet.

 

420 on mine with stock internals. Vortech with the 3.12 pulley and exhaust mods.

When DSport Mag and Vortech figure out the cog pulley system for the car . You will see a 600whp car . The T-trim blower is plenty big enough and flows enough to support it . There really is no need for a bigger head unit .

My belt starts to slip at 13psi @ 5900rpm and if it didnt.....I think 18psi would be reached by 7000rpm . DSport is reving to 8000rpm's

 

I was talking ATI head unit. Many say that is starts to get towards over spinning at the 500hp level.

 

The Stillen will not get you over ~350whp.
Power under the curve and immediate boost are it's pros. Big numbers and power at high rpm are its lows.

 

There are a few of us with built motors. Some are really pushing good #'s. I am running conservative tune as I was experiencing the overheating /head lift issue a lot of people were experiencing and don't want to tear down for head gasket and stud upgrade yet. I am at 410hp/340tq. Could probably easily gain 40 or more whp with cams, plenum spacer, 2.87 pulley, etc.

 

you were lifting the heads? THAT'S THE 1ST i'VE HEARD OF a VQ35 having a head clamping problem.

 

OK..sorry

As far as head lift...I dont think it is head lift . But the cyl. moving around breaking the head gasket seal

 

There are several threads on the overheating and head lift "theories". I think my problems were a combination of air in the system and head gasket starting to fail like Booger said (I had the black gasket particles in my overflow). Booger knows better than I with regards to the cause. He just went through replacing his head gasket. I installed the head strengthening mod from Scott (overzealous1) and have had good success thus far.

 

Im just going by what my shop has explained to me . They have had alot of the same problems with open deck Honda's .
