Here is my recommendation.....get a ride in the following to give you a good feel for the different styles:

MikeP's procharged vette
Rick's turbo T/A
Josh's 408c.i. ? T/A- Red car, Fran's customer, from Delaware

If you can get a ride in those three cars, you'll get a good idea of what to expect from s/c, turbo, NA.

 

if you take a ride in MikeP's Vette make sure you bring a change of draws....he's a little unstable and you can imagine what unstable does with that much power...lol.

 

You will never, ever get a ride in Nubbz red 408 T/A. While he is a nice guy, I still have yet to get a ride and we're good friends.

That car has been driven three times since it was put together. Hell if I didn't put a gun to his head it never would've made a pass down the track.

Oh and if you want a high hp ride, the cobra is down at rpm. Feel free to go take it for a spin.

 

I wish the Cobra still had the supercharger on it. Brien would have liked that experience. Gobs of torque at the press of the pedal.

Got tires?!?

 

That makes two of us. If the cobra still had the six speed and blower,i wouldn't have bought the viper.

I like the viper, but the cobra was just brutal.

Oh well. Viper might get an upgrade....

 

That is not nice of you to say. I backed it out of the garage this weekend. You were there.

 

I'm in the lehigh valley. My car doesnt make a ton of power like some guys on here but its still fun.

 

edison new jersey. come on down , i dont mind giving out rides lol . how much power does mikep's procharged vette make ?

 

I think it makes more now

oh nice thats sick . think ive seen that video before.. yeah mine makes like right under 7's .

 

Do you have a red C6 and smoke in the car?

If so, please never come within 100 feet of my cars. I've seen that thing get sideways in every gear, cross the center line and stay in it.

 

nah sorry , i dont smoke and my cars not red , its orange.. sideways in every gear sounds about right though

 

if I had a passenger seat I'd give you a ride you'd never forget

Just a baby 1200 rwhp dyno pull

No race cars allowed!!!!

Haha just kidding Brian. Nice video

 

How much whp does it make now?

Edit Just looked it's not done yet

 

Look at that race car ****!!! haha , awesome car bro! yeah i got a full daily driven street car .. well it could be.. bone stock motor , paxton novi 2200 , fuel system , meth , blower cam and a buncha other goodies .. made right about 700 .. just a fun little streeter .

 

Sounds like a Positive displacement blower setup would suit you well. All that low end torque and streetability would suit your needs. Look into some type of TVS or maggie setup.

 

I've thought about the maggie setup, but from what I've read, they look to max out at low to mid 500's power wise which doesn't leave much room for growth. Maybe that was with the older, smaller blowers. Is there a TVS that's larger than the maggie?

 

maggie's just dont really make the power you would really want. why not go paxton if you wana go sc.

 

I'm confused...lol

The nice thing about a procharger is it's a weekend project in the garage. PLUS

To do a motor swap is still a garage project, but realistically, I'd do it over my brother in law's house since he has a 2-post lift as opposed to me having a 4-post. I'm sure I could do it on my lift, it just would take some more ingenuity.

I'd still consider a turbo, but I'd have to be able to retain A/C, it's just one of those concessions I'm not willing to make.
