Thinkin of superchargin my CETA! Can anybody please hook me up wit some advice on whether i should supercharge my ride? I would like my TA to have some more power but also streetable. I might take to tha strip every blue moon but not often. My ride has bout 68k miles on tha clock and just got tha bolt ons which u can see in tha sig. I drive it under normal conditions so will my stock internals will handle it? Or should i get H/C done? Guys or gals, let me know somethin. Peace.

f/i makes your car produce a lot of power that breaks ****. yes they fbodies and ls1's are pretty strong but **** happens, be prepared.
f/i can be a huge pain in the *** but it can be very rewarding, just got to work for it.
hope this helps

bingo! f/i is expensive, anyone that tells you otherwise is a fool. sure the blower kit is only 6k but thats just where it begins. when getting a kit, look at who gives the best customer service, search a little bit to find this out. also the tune is everything, and i mean absolutely everything.

My IMO...why dont you get another LS1 powered car, say a run of the mill WS6 for example and toy with that? The CETA is a collectible car and its value will be more if leaved as unmolested as possible. Thats what I would do if I had the money and the time for such a project.

THE.....is not spelled THA!!! and 'ya' wonder why we are grumpy also 'bout' has an A in front therefor ABOUT
otherwise, a few pounds of boost on a stock setup is not much, if any, more power then a solid Head/cam package on a stock setup.
If i were you, save your "dollaz" on a blower kit and throw some "chedda" at a short block or trans or rear end that will be more power friendly

Hmhm...
why don't you go nitrous?
Well the **** thats going to break is :ya A4 annd ya 10 bolt so suggest you take care of that first ie thow some money at it do a search on 9inch and on 4le60 i would suggest from this side of the big pond.
Also you need to hook: so suspension mods are indispensable too!
I am flipping here because I wanna wet shot for a extra 100 horses, but shipping costs of the all the metal(A4 and rear-end) is scaring me away from these thoughts.
The motor should be fine if its done with consideration an professionality.
Regards.
