i need supercharger for my camaro z28,do i realy need to spen 6.000 and how many power will be my car after that

Forced induction is not a clear cut item. First you have to decide what it is that you want, and how you going to use it, and how much you are willing to spend.

1) how much power are you looking for.
2) How is the car going to be used.
3) How much maintenance are you willing to do.
4) Most important, how much are you willing to spend.

You can leave your engine stock, and slap on a centrifugal or a roots supercharger for about $3500 to $ 4000 plus installation and expect a 30% to 45% boost in power with a 4 to 6lb boost. Around 400 to 500 HP on a 350" engine. This is about the limit if you want the stock motor to stay toghether.

You can make your engine supercharger friendly by beefing everything up to max, forged crank, aluminum rods, forged blower pistons, O ringed cylinder heads & block, main bearing girdles, drop compression to around 7.5:1, free flowing heads with reiforced valve train, sodium cooled exhaust valves, free flowing headers and exhaust (4" duals), camshaft with blower grind. This will run about $10,000 without supercharger or fuel system. Be prepared to replace bearings on a regular basis, and look out for broken rings if detonation takes place. The drive train will also have to be built up to take the power, otherwise you ain't going nowere.

After this you must decide on what type of forced induction you want.

Turbochargers are the most efficient and work best with port injection. Running around 25 to 30 lb boost & water/alchool injection you can expect around 1,500 to 2,000 HP @ 8000RPM from a 350" engine. This will cost at least another $!0,000 on top of your engine. Intecooling is a must. Two small turbos will be better than one large one.

A Roots supercharger (671) or a screw type (Whipple) running around 20 lb boost would be another choice. Max power will be around 1000Hp @ 7000 RPM but thw low end torque will be higher. These are positive displacement blowers and the law of deminishing returns comes in at around 20lb of boost. This setup will run about $6000 and can use either carburators or fuel injectors. Intercooling is desireable but hard to do with these superchargers. The Whipple is a better choice as it keeps the air cooler.

Fuel delivery has to be adequate or you will wind up with holes in your pistons, and detonation under high boost cannot be tolerated. I know this is a Chevy forum, but the most suitable engine for making serious power with a supercharger is the Chrysler elephant Hemi. However; wedge chambered engines can make real power also. Dutweiler gets 1800 HP from a 3.8 Buick V6 and two turbos.

My preference for street use is a 500" big block Chevy making making a reliable and streetable 600HP.

yea my buddies 88camaro makes 682whp@15psi on precision turbo at 5500rpm and if he turned it harder it will make 19psi @ 8300rpm and the car hasnot been tuned for the turbo were doing that next week cause dyno time IS NOT CHEAP where were going its 150bux a pull and we have to make 4 runs at least to tune the car
