good thing im not looking to make 500hp. I would like to be in the 400hp range. I was on jegs webstie and saw a vortech supercharger kit for about 2k. Its a blow threw (hat style) with a centrifugal supercharger. I happened to look in the accessories section for and for a fuel pump kit for it with a boost sensitive fuel pressure regulator. Is this a good idea? I can retro fit it to work since its for a 350 chevy, and i wouldn't have to worry about rain getting in the intake.
Might as well stay naturally aspirated if all you want is 400 hp. I hit 398 HP with a home built low compression Buick 350. Others have built high compression Buick 350s to 550+ hp without any power adders.
its not that i don't want 500hp im just a little worried about blowing my trans. And i really want the better throttle response to.
I know I have spent a lot of $ to make my Skylark handle the power of the turbos, $3000 on the trans alone and likely over $2000 on the rear end once it is done... You know what they say, you have to pay to play LOL!:Smarty: I would just build a NA Buick 350 with 10:1 compression, ported heads, a TA roller cam, topped it off with an EZ EFI or Professional Products Throttle body EFI. That would give you great throttle response, and cost less than a power adder build. My guess is that 450 HP, and great street manners would nt be a problem. :beers2:
I agree with Sean buick. A power adder is a lot of money and extra work for just a 400+ hp engine. Have Gessler do a level 3 street performance head. The revised and polished combustion chambers will reduce the chance for detonation and will allow a higher compression on pump gas. http://www.gesslerheadporting.com/g...2bd966a9262c4d4985256dd80027774a!OpenDocument Do a 10:1 CR block with a good street performance cam, add the TA Performance intake manifold with a carb and your done. Hope you enjoyed the supercharger info. Maybe some else will go that direction. Meanwhile it looks like the local riceburners will still dominate. LOL Paul
