should i still get a converter? hey guys, i was wondering since my car is a street car. it WILL NEVER see the track. should i still get a stall to go with a supercharger. i was thinking of going p1sc maybe running it safe at 6-7 psi. i figure if i cant hook up on the street with a stall, then why bother.

For what you are doing, I would first go with 8 psi of boost, which will be more than enough power for now. Once you're use to it (we always want more) then consider upgrading the suspension for hooking the added power, then possibly a higher stall converter.

If you not ready to go all in 100% to get an FI setup running, a converter is a great idea to hold you over.

for a street car that will NEVER see the track, id say no to the stall. the converter with make you launch harder but on the street traction is limited anyway, witht he supercharger youll have plenty of top end power and few traction issues.

Agreed, if you never plan on taking it to the track, run it as is. That way you can "restrict" power NA until you build boost up top. From a stop you'll have normal power then it'll come in and hit once you're already rolling and traction isn't a huge deal. =)
