Where are my intelligent members?
I see everybody else aksin it, so I might as well ask because Iam very curious to see where the end result would be? So please no flaming and just help me to see what I would be looking at...
-Short Ram Intake
-Cat-Back Exhaust
-2.4 Intake Manifold Swap
-Bigger Throttle Body
-Cams
-Forged Pistons (No Gains)
-Forged Valves (No Gains)
-Eagle Connecting Rods
-MRZ Lightweight Pulley
-Tune
Just curious If supercharged would it surpass all that is above right away, thank you!

although your original setup would take to a 100shot nicely, but that wouldn't be "all the time" power

well i would definatley run nitrous witht hat set up...because come on thats like a bullet proof engine although I would just runa 75 shot to keep it safe I just wanted to see what numbers I would see with those mods w/o nitrous and yeah s/c would be cool too just wanna see what numbers would be with my original set up plus Iam pretty sure those mods with a nice shot will outrun a LS/SC
When you live on Long island and there cops pretty much everywhere I just wanna be able to fly down the service road occasionaly lol

If you add n02 to that list you will be eating SC's for breakfast. No turbo required, just make sure you are down with the juice!
Don't go over a 75 shot, trust me on this one.

You wont see 200whp NA with that unless you go for higher compression pistons(11:1 or so), and a built valvetrain to support higher revs. Even though you have better cams, you still need to spin the engine faster then stock to see any real gains.
Your wasting your money upgrading pistons/rods/cams and not going FI. Why spend that much money on the parts + labor when your just going to throw juice at it. Have fun spending $60 to fill your tank up for a couple pulls thats not even street legal. Go FI if you upgrade your internals, you will get more for your money, guaranteed.

Yeah, leave out the internals. Just do a 75 shot with the bolt ons, and a tune.
You GOTTA get a transmission tune on these automatics, else you'll be running 15's.

You can run a 75 shot fine on stock internals. It's when you start pushing 250 is when you start having issues.
If you want to make sure you're fine, get your parts and then use your spray on a dyno to be sure.

d4 your telling me If i install every part I listed, Ill barley notice a diffrence? I mean come on the car should feel a little peppier, no? The engine will be very strong internally then I can run a nice shot
#25
you're talking about a cam and basic bolt ons. it isn't going to make that much of a difference. with the bolt ons you won't notice anything, and you'll likely lose some low end power overall, which will make the car feel slower in the lower rpm range.
