Talking hey Jay!

Howdy Jay!,

I did quite a bit of review of Superchargers on my old car 992. My spin on the long and short of it.

If Supercharging is the ticket for you, build an engine to support it. Sell your old motor as is. Second, go EFI, do NOT try to use a carb based system, as Mr Wells will point out, carbs have limitations. The main one being the ability to regulate fuel efficiently for high demand. Use a Forged crank, forged low compression pistons, you will need to install a return line for fuel to the tank, and a different cam from the one you have now. Fixit is correct, heads are a key to any build. If you still want a Super on your Super (lol), I can recommend AFR heads, either the 185 intake, or 205 intake runner heads with the thick bases (think massive compression here) use an intercooler, I like a 3 core ATI unit, and it can be mounted flat in front of the oil pan under the car.

Now yer ready for 16 lbs of boost, and a case of hair coloring for all the grey hair you are about to get.

Say hi to "T" for me!
