Awsome job with the car so far, how does the Jackson supercharger compare to the eaton blowers on the ecotec 2.0's? I know mine on my Redline puts out around 12-13 pounds on the stock pulley, I have heard alot about the Jackson's just don't know alot about them.

screamin, id like to throw the car up on the rollers, but i may not have time to do that.
Id guess the car makes hp in the 200+ Whp range and i talked to a few d series tuners and they said thats about right
ls1unleased- Im selling the car for more then 5 but less then 10 grand lol
Belive it or not, the kid i bought it from payed 3500 bucks for the car with the hacked up install and paint, and there were 2 other kids with cash in hand waitin to get it lol
But this car is well known around here and has beat a ton a ton of the "fast" impoarts around here over the years when it was just a stock shortblock with the S/c and hondata. It even waxed a 99 full bolt on GSR with a 75 shot
Camaroz, The charger on your car is completly diffrent from this one. Im not sure how the jacksons are in stock form as i never drove it that way, but i know it rips now for certain. When i had the motor apart i brought it to a friend of mines supercharger shop (hes been doing blower motors for 30+ years), showd him the jackson and what i wanted to do, and he told me where to stop with the porting. In essence i ported the crap out of it just like the 03/4 cobra guys do and it has a similar blower wine ( just much quieter)
I could get a 14psi pulley for it, but this thing has very high compression so that may lead to disaster. The thing pulls really hard tho, and its such a small little car with the new suspension its like a little gokart, and with the Jap LSD tranny, traction isnt too bad.
The great thing is these single cams are dirt cheap and if anything blew you can find them anywhere. I never understood the whole expensive dohc swaps these guys do when F.i single cams make wayyy more power for much less $$$$
Id love to keep the car as a daily driver, but i just have tooooooooo many projects and not enough room for them all

Yea im really lucky, i was in the garage with him before i could walk, even as a teenager when i would beat the **** out of my cars and blow **** up, he was always in the garage with me till the wee hours of the morning gettin it back up and running. Im pretty sure we could do a tranny swap in a Fox mustang with our eyes closed in under 2 hours lol
ls1curt, boosted hondas are fun, The heads flow is great and when you port them out they can really flow. I actually had a turbo d16 ( parted it out,made all my money back and put all the good parts into this car) and it was fast, but i just moved on to better things and going fast always costs money lol
