can anybody out there tell me what is the best supercharger to put on a factory engine in a 81 corvette?

HKS T-series. Dont' forget to do the intercoolers.

You can get a new exhaust system, cold air intake, you can put in some fuel additives, you can also buy a programmer to reprogram your factory computer.  Just google your car and whatever addition you want to find a good retailer.

usually the easiest way to get that kind of power is either\n\nturbo charging your car, or adding nitrous.  \n\nboth have its strengths, and weaknesses.\n\nalso both will need modifications on your car to make it \na. run right.\nb. run so your engine lasts.

all power is made from the combustion of fuel feed it reasonably but not to much make sure it gets air put a nice 4 Barrell holley about 500cfm, a high rise intake and a super charger if u can afford it let me know if that isn,t enough most people aint cazy about pulling their engine apart a cam should be your 1st choice internaly

First, know what your talking about. How can you have "turbo" headers if your running on motor? Turbo headers is known as a turbo manifold, which sends the ehaust to the turbine. \n\nAre you looking to go all motor or boost?

what year chevy  it may not be much considering its only a 4.3 liter.  are you running heads and cam   what size cam?  Ported heads?   what type bolt on?  and what kind of car is it.  Are you looking at high or low end torque?   You may want to get a dyno pull

Are you talking cubic inches or horse power or both\n\nIE you can get 408 hp from a 400ci with the right cam heads intake and carb.\n\nYou can also bore out an engine block to increase the cubic inches, IE bigger pistons and rings.\n\nAnd as the previous poster wrote you can make it a stroker motor

You should size the turbos based on your horsepower goal:\n\nA turbo helps support about 1 horsepower per 1.345 cfm airflow (that the turbo is rated at). Take the cfm rating of the turbo you are considering and multiply by two (to get the total cfm provided by the two turbos).\n\n\n----\n\nWhat I referred to was the cfm ratings of the turbos themselves. Those are usually specified by the turbo manufacturer in the form of a compressor map. The 1.345 figure I gave is the most commonly quoted estimated. For example, if you wanted a 250hp car, you would need one or more turbos rated a combined 336 cfm.\n\nAnother factor is making sure you have enough exhaust flow to spool the turbos quickly. In other words, don't oversize the turbos or the turbo response will not happen until a high rpm, thus reducing drivability somewhat.

chip, GT40 air intake, cat-back exhaust, free-flow cats, h-pipe. The easiest thing to do is change the oil to synthetic. Less friction=more power

a solid lift cam from a 1969 302 z28 engine, 202 intake valves, [preferably double hump heads, if you cant find these use 882 casting truck heads and have them cut for 2.02 intake valves.] a 700 double pumper holley, and most importantly,TIMING!!!! I MEAN BOTH IGNITION AND CAM TIMING. BUY A DOUBLE ROLLER TIMING SET AND RUN IT ON THE ADVANCED MARK. THEN BUY A RECURVE KIT FOR YOUR DISTRIBUTOR, RUN THE VACUUM LINE TO THE PORT ON THE CARB THAT SUCKS VACUUM ON ACCELERATION. WHEN YOU SET YOUR TIMING, REV THE ENGINE UP TO 3000 RPM AND HOLD IT THERE. ADVANCE THE TIMING UNTIL THE ENGINE BEGINS TO MISS OUT, THEN BACK THE TIMING OFF UNTIL IT RUNS SMOOTHLY AGAIN, AND TIGHTEN IT UP, THEN RE-HOOK YOUR VACUUM LINE TO THE CARB. DOING THIS WILL ENSURE YOU THAT THE CAM TIMING AND IGNITION TIMING ARE ON THE SAME AXIS, A MUST FOR STREET CAR PERFORMANCE, YOU WILL HAVE TO RUN PREMIUM FUEL, I RECOMMEND AMACO ULTIMATE, GOOD LUCK.

Get a Mustang GT and a Paxton supercharger kit. You should be running 450-500 horsepower at the rear wheels with that setup.

www.3si.org/forum\n\na wealth of information, anything and everything can be found here if it relates to 3000gt and Stealths.\n\nyour options are endless, most people begin with intake, exhaust and boost.  a K&N filter, gutted converters, and boost control ($10 bleeder valve to $300 AVCR) can get a Stealth into low 13's or high 12's.    second mods could be\ninjectors and fuel control, clutch, and bigger turbo's.  \n\nc'ya around

Yeah...  What Marky said.\nThen add a performance chip, fuel injectors (if necessary), larger throttle body, and mass air flow sensor (if applicable). Intake manifold....\nThen put a huge Turbonectics Turbocharger on it!\nTo go faster, you need to get more air and fuel in, and more exhaust out.\nHave fun!!

Go tall it not only gives you more low end torque but adds horses in the entire power band. Not to mention if you get one thats ported it helps atomize the air/fuel mixture giving you better efficiency and power.

I think you might be a little confused on an intercooler and an aftercooler.\n\n  Most intercoolers are front mounted, where it uses the air to cool the discharge temps.  \n\nMost aftercoolers are an air-to-water setup where it uses water to cool the discharge temps.\n\nIf you have an intercooler you still can use it as an intercooler to cool the air in the supercharger.  Intercoolers for turbo applications are the exact same as an intercooler you use for supercharger applications.  \n\nIf you are thinking about modifying your current intercooler to make an aftercooler setup then this might be tough.  Your best bet is to sell it and just purchase an aftercooler core and custom make your own end pipes.  You will then need an heat exchanger, a water pump, some lines and fittings, and then a water reservoir box.\n\nI highly suggest you read the following link that I will provide for my sources.  It will explain intercoolers and aftercoolers in detail.

Yeah, sure those "high performance brakes" will give you an excellent boost in horsepower. Wtf? Add a few stickers, and a really large exhaust pipe, and you'll be drag racing before you know it!\n\nAttempt to reduce the weight of the car, and add performance add-on's to the engine and the exhaust system, so the exhaust can flow faster and more efficiently. The "add-ons" will help you produce more power, but weight is an issue.

Yes, you can supercharge it...\nBut a turbocharger is SO much more fun!!!\n\nHe He!
