Engine Upgrade

89rice_eater · November 17th, 2007, 01:49 PM

I have a 89gt with 302 and some bolt ons,I am thinking of getting a supercharger,just wondering if anyone had some advice on what combo to use,and compression ratio,what what kind of et's should I expect

Is the engine stock?

Combo depends on what you want to do with the car and how much power you want to make...ETs depend on A LOT of things. For forced induction, compression should always be low if you plan on running pump gas...For race fuel...different story.

The question is too broad....be more specific.

Um isnt this the 5.0 section...I think but I am not positive that there are quite a bit of supporting mods you will have to do to go along with the charger....get your wallet ready and ask alot of questions...take your time and get it done right otherwise you will regret it and waste your money

first off the stock compression is fine w/ superchargers, thats why you see alot of stock 5.0s w/ superchargers, not making great numbers usually like 260-270..

you dont have to do anything beside injectors, you should also do an bigger fuel pump and AFPR along w/ nessasary gauges..and an superchargers takes power to make power, thats why alot of people rather turbochargers and N20 becuase they dont take anything from the motor to run...

There isnt really any supporting mods needed as long as you keep the boost on the low side. I had my paxton on a completely stock short block and beat the crap out of it with no problems at all. I would reccomend a wideband gauge but other than that go for it
