I have a 96 camaro ss i have full strait pipes and slp headers. can i supercharge or turbocharge my stock moter with out blowing it up?

 

im pretty sure you could but to be on the safe side, you would need to have a lower boost.

 

I am sure you can as long as you are running about 5-6psi of boost, you should be fine

 

you would be better off doing motor work. a good set of heads and a cam would be safer, less expensive, and you would probably make more power.

 

i dunno, does the LT4 actaully gain much from that? i mean, it will gain some numbers,, but not as much as a LS1. for the money, i think it mite be worth while to Boost the LT1.

IMO, LT1 = stroker engine..
but ive seen some procharged LT1s throw some good numbers

 

never said lt4...

 

yea that too, but i didnt think the LT4 was THAT powerful, thought the LT4 brought it up to the same page as a LS1.

 

i told u about my buddy with the lt4 conversion right? he dyno'd at 291rwhp. but he also had full boltons (and an aluminum driveshaft, cuz he thought that gave him more hp). they are alright, the guys at that firebird forum which i probably will not return said its a complete waste of time to do the swap, but i dunno

 

yea. and 291 is in stock LS1 territory. i mean.. i'd love to have a fast LT1, cuz IMO they(camaros) look better. but thats why i like Strokers[8D].
Alluminum driveshaft doesnt "add" HP, but it makes it so you don't lose as much throughout drivetrain doesn't it? it's lighter, and alluminum doesnt heat up as much. i mean, it prolly wouldnt be noticeable, but i would think it would reduce drivetrain loss.

 

from what i understand the LT4 package that puts you in the low 300s range...is just the LT4 hot cam again im not 100% on this but i belive i read somwere with the full LT4 package cam head rollers rockerss so on so forth 420+horse power
