had a friend come up to me and told me i should pick up a Buick Regal Supercharger for my camaro that it would work and all i would need is a custom bracket? has anyone done this before? details? what kinda hp gains would i be looking at? ls1

no it will not fit an ls1. it will fit the 3.8l v6 that came in the f body but you need the heads off the original motor also. and i believe the motor is set back too far on the f-body to make that supercharger fit anyway.

well that sucks, woulda been nice to be able get some extra hp for cheap but thanks for answering my question

Cheap extra HP, more than a blower that size could produce? Nitrous.

i think im good on the Nitrous, my dad's 86 corvette is about to get a 125 shot

yeah yeah yeah i know, nothing is ever cheap for fun, but if the supercharger would have fit, well i could have picked it up for $200 which is why i asked about it

Not true and not a good way to look at it. You just have to find the right deals and look around for cheap hp

So you will spend 200 on a pos blower plus whatever else you would have needed to make it work. but you won't spend 400-600 on a decent nitrous kit?



I love when people ask about a turbo or blower setup for cheap.. everyone says nitrous and they say, na if that's the case ill stay bone stock.

subbie racer

i just heard bad stories about nitrous was also told that i would have to rebuild the bottom end since the camaro has 151k maybe once i see how my dad's 383 holds up against the nitrous then i might go for it

If it makes you feel any better I have a ls1 with 173k on it and its about to get a vortec ho kit installed in a week or so. Well see how it holds up with a safe dyno tune and 7-8lbs on it. BTW nitrous is fine on that mileage engine if its in good shape.

As long as you don't go crazy power level wise and keep the a/f and timing in check it will be good to go with a little laughing gas and the gains will be a welcomed addition.

i was thinking about going with a procharger set up awhile back then i saw the price


so far everything seems good, just replaced valve cover gaskets and intake gaskets but while doing that my fuel pump managed to take a ****, so i have a walbro 255 coming in, hopefully monday or tuesday i get my car back on the road

subbie racer

can anyone explain the difference between the dry and wet kit?

Dry setup uses the injectors to add fuel. Wet shot the fuel is sprayed through the nitrous nozzle and comes off your fuel rail. I have a NOS kit for sale dirt cheap. Pm me

If nitrous is going to blow it up so is a blower or turbo.
Keep it under 150.. pressure gauge, purge, heater, window switch, fuel pump, tune. If it blows It was going to blow anyway.
Get a wet..
