    Default Supercharger

    Hey guys,

    Too excited... Next Wednesday (April 6'th) I am getting a Magnuson supercharger on the Z. Im hoping to get over 600 HP at the crank since the car already has some mods done to it. Anyone else with a supercharger have any advice?

    Happy vetting!

    Michael

    Hey Stosh. I bought a new ACI hood which fits perfect. I will have a lengthy post after I am done with a before and after. She should be ready here in about 5 hours.

    Cheers,

    Michael

    A full report will follow... But right now all I have to say is OH MY GOD. This thing moves. I can be in third gear at about 60 and it will accelerate like it would in 2nd gear w/o the supercharger.

    Wow,

    Michael

    Is there is any long term effects on the engine that could be caused by the supercharger? Some people say it shortens the engine's life and I dont know how true this is.

    Does your fuel mileage goes up significantly? would the car still be useable for day to day driving?

    Hey Hitman1,

    I have not heard anything in regards to longevity of the engine. I have noticed about a 1-1.5 mpg difference in my car. I use mine as a daily driver and I get about 15 mpg now. Hope that helps.
