Supercharger Questions

Nope - they are built to order but end of the month may be possible. I'll send an email tonite and get back with you.

has anyone done a before and after on a dymo with the alpine? Is most of the gain low-end?

I had no idea how sexy the power in these things was until I got transio's baby. The morgan tec and dual exhaust give a nice pur and great acceleration...and I want more . Is the 3k installed or just the alpine unit?

Yes there are before and after dynos posted, but I cant remember by who. A decent search should reveal them though

Here is a thread when me and John took out VX's to a 4wheel dyno.

We did not have a stock VX there since both of ours had the same mods, only mine has the SC and John's does not.

Since then I added a new dual catback and went up bout 9hp over the old catback I was using. I dyno'd 216.21HP and with the new duals: 225.36.

Bottom line this is the way the VX should have been from the factory!
There is a gain everywhere, but I seem to notice more after 50-60mph.

Can anyone remember the thread where the guy had modified his vx to run 13's in the 1/4?

this thread talks about tone's low 14's...

.. all this talk of superchargers might become very detrimental to my bank account...

it wasn't that thread.

some guy had tuned the VX, given it a S/C, bored over cylinders and all kinds of stuff.

Even posted his 1/4 slip.

Hi everyone. I have been weighing my options as far as putting a supercharger on my '00 Proton. I have driven it for 6,000 of its 86,000 total miles, so its still pretty new to me. Its been trouble free, uses less than a half quart of oil every thousand miles and averages 17.5 mpg combined. Haven't any compression figures, but all seems well in the engine compartment. Is putting a supercharger on an engine with this sort of milage advisable, or am I asking for reliability problems? Would I be better of going with intake and exhaust mods for now and worry about the s/c when rebuild time comes along? Opinions, anyone?
