Default my 95 z28 supercharged

Just bought this last week with some tranny issues so no in action footage but heres a walk around. Enjoy and let me know what you think.

Does the supercharger sound to loud to you, like it may be restricted of oil? This is my first S/C car so i just wanna be safe.

More info? I've seen some pretty loud superchargers and some pretty quiet ones.

Oh yeah, you might want to check out the forced induction section if you haven't already.

Back then you had to pay extra for Z rated tires. If you didn't you had a speed limited at like 115mph I think. Thus the lower speed on the speedo.

You got me thinking now and i did some research. Your right the z28's went to 150 and the v6's go to 110... Now im starting to think that the cluster has been swapped. I have the title to the car and all the paperwork. All the millage seems to make sence but i have to say I am kinda pissed right now about the cluster swap. If anybody can shed some light on this please do.

Found this on another forum

"Any car that left the factory with 'Z' rated tires got the 155mph speedo and no governor, any that left the factory without 'z' rated tires got the 115mph speedo and a 108mph speed limiter."

The 108 speed limiter would explain why i cant go over 75mph with my 4.10's, The computer was obviously never re-calibrated and thinks im going 108. Ohh man i got all wired up for a min there. I was getting ready to call the guy who i bought the car from right this moment at 3:20am. LOL I sure as hell would have sounded like a fool.

Yea all it means George was it didn't get the z rated tires, hence the 110mph speedo. Doubtful the cluster was swapped

Yup, i had a 94Z with a 115mph speedo. Those cars came stock with a 2.73 gear. When i swapped that out for a 3.73 i couldnt do anything over 80mph until i got it recalibrated.

well I got her back from the shop thursday and was loving it. Come friday I started her up and relized that there is tranny fluid leaking from the connector to the b&m tranny cooler. So back to the shop she goes. I wish it wasnt blistering cold out or I would fix the car myself.
