got my supercharger now what?

emptysidewarrior · April 16th, 2009, 04:49 AM

As you can see from my signature I got the vortech s/c with an intercooler and so on...

My next moves are bbk throttle body, bbk headers, x pipe and borla stingers. Do you agree this should be my next move? I am of course trying to make my stang faster. Im doing high 13's on the track, but want to keep on going down.

what gears are you running now? if they are still stock would look into 3:73 or 4:10. Do you have an auto or manual transmission?

Fox2102 · April 16th, 2009, 02:19 PM

well you could always go with n2

emptysidewarrior · April 16th, 2009, 04:21 PM

I got an automatic, so no gears for me right?

goren813 · April 16th, 2009, 04:24 PM

4.10's... that'd be my next move.

ESG-642T · April 16th, 2009, 04:27 PM

Two questions:

1.) You have an intercooler or vortech's aftercooler?

2.) Do you have a dyno graph on your car?

emptysidewarrior · April 16th, 2009, 05:41 PM

its the intercooler that came with the high output system. what is a dyno graph?

Buy the answer you've given:

I suggest you go and get the car dyno tuned.

If i were you I would do long tube headers, and full exhaust.

emptysidewarrior · April 16th, 2009, 06:12 PM

what is the difference between long and shorty headers. what are the benefits of having the car dyno tuned? not the same as programing it with the tuner i got with my vortech right?

Long tube headers will generally give you more power, and a better sound. As for a dyno tune it will actually account for your car its a more personalized tune than just a generic tune they send out to everyone. You would prob pick up anywhere from 10-40rwhp.

emptysidewarrior · April 16th, 2009, 07:20 PM

is that hp gain for both the headers and dyno tune?

Dyno tune alone alone COULD see anywhere from 10-40rwhp depending on how close that tune is from vortech.

long tubes prob another 10-20rwhp.

emptysidewarrior · April 16th, 2009, 08:32 PM

nice! what long headers would you recommend? also what do you think about a thortle body?
