I'm not a track guy, I don't drag race, and only AutoX once in a while, but I wan't the FRPP/Whipple SC ($6900 installed by my Ford dealer)....if I'm being honest with myslef it's probably a defensive move against the pesky SC'd 350Z's, tweeked LS1 Camaro's/Firebirds, and the odd C6 Vette, etc that I find on the road...

The question is, what will go kablammo as a result of the extra 200 flywheel hp over stock? Clutch is probably a given over time...but used as a DD how often will I need to change plugs? And what about the rear end...I repeat, I'm NOT dumping the clutch repeatedly from 4000 rpm....yes I'll probably accelerate aggressively every day, but that will be a "roll-on-to-the-throttle" kind of acceleration.

Thanks

 

Most blower combos will included colder plugs, injectors, etc. For a daily driver you won't need to worry about the rear end, but yes over time (some sooner some later) you will need a clutch. The critical part for any blower is a custom tune- must be done on a dyno by a shop that knows what they're doing.

 

Thanks!

 

Check out www.brenspeed.com for blower packages ranging from entry level to high end.

 

My only suggestion on what your may need after your blower is installed would be some new "Fruit of the looms"

BWAHAHAHAHA!!

 

I am planning this as well and have planned some suspension mods along with 3.73's to go along with it.

 

My reply to him elsewhere was that he would need to change tires, too.

 

If you go w/ the Whipple you won't need anything for your style of driving. The FRPP tune will get you buy until you find a tuner you trust. When Doug came to Oklahoma with his dyno he squeezed out anout 20 more rwhp over what the FRPP tune had. You will love the Whipple. You may want to beef up your car with internals, but as long as you don't drive it like you stole it, you should be ok. Good luck.

 

Yeah right Don. If he doesn't believe you all he has to do is watch some of your racing vids. What are you on about your 5th set of rears??
Scott

 

More than 5... but drag tires are considered expendable. I don't want them to last forever... that would mean I'm not racing.

 

Yep tires are a good point, I guess I just took it for granted that they were a necessity but its true, a good set of rear tires are needed.......


only if you want to go in a straight line, that is!! LOL! Spinnin' ain't winnin'!

 

if i were in your shoes i would leave the supercharger off

 

Good point... who the hell would want all that extra power and speed?
