I know these have been asked in the past but i'ma lookin again.
I'm looking for a supercharger, exhaust, chip and intake just to get me started and I was wondering if any of yall knew of some good brands and some to stay away from. It's hard to find stuff for v6's.
Anything would be a great help.
Thanks Larry
Like probably most people will say, you are probably better off looking for a cheap wrecked f-bod with a v-8 to swap out the parts than to go with a S/C etc. I wanted to do similar with my Camaro, but was told its not worth it, so I bought a Formula with a V-8. :-) MUCH better.
Thats a awsome car. I've herd some people say that with a supercharger, chip, air intake and exhause I would be running with the 8's. And if you think about it I would have better acceleration because it's a 6 cylinder, right?
How would two LESS cylinders make it accelerate BETTER??? Some ricer boy tell you that?
It's common sense. Right off the line it turns up quicker, smaller moter. A souped and beefed up 6 would tear apart a 8.
Anybody out there on some the origional post intended...
You have to have TORQUE for that to happen and a small displacement/small stroke V6 won't cut it. Torque is what makes you go fast off the line. We're not taking about a 400 cu in/large stroke 6 cyl here ...
Dollar for dollar you will be far ahead with a V8. With all the mods on your V6 you're looking at around 350HP/MAYBE 350 lbs torque after poring in thousands of dollars. The STOCK LS1 V8 is rated at 325HP/350 lbs torque right out of the box. Put the same about of money into the LS1 and you're looking at a 600+ HP engine!
Yeah, thats what I thought too... I'll have a 455 HO, but hold the 600hp ....and give me umm... one with 400 hp.. and can I get that to go please?
