Default centri supercharger effects on handling?

I am still debating a n/a vs. f/I build. the car will be street driven,but handling is a major focus for me (coilovers,z06 sways). how much would a centri supercharger upset the handling/weight balance of the car? Looking to build an all around sports car,but would also like to maintain good drivability.

I would be more concerned about keeping it cool. Where do you live? What are temps like in the summer?

Air temps are typical lower than actual track temps.

big cubic inch n/a motor with lots of compression and shed as much weight from the car as possible.

I live in south Mississippi and it is HOT in the summer (90-100),I know a few guys that are boosted and haven't had an issue but.....I don't know how hard they drive them either? like I said this car will be 99% street driven with a few spirited runs when I can, but want it to be well balanced (handling). I also don't want a car that I have to run drag radials to be able to hook the power either.....

Unless the car was built at the factory with forced induction, don't do it.


You will cuss the day you did.

The extra weight over the nose is not good either.

This is for a road course car.


You want a blower but dont want to run drag radials? You may want to re evaluate.
