Who drives their blown, turbo'd or sprayed car daily?


Trying to decide what way to go on my dd. healthy high compression motor with big shot of nitrous, mild blower motor, mild turbo'd.


What are the drivabilty problems, concerns you have had with your set up?

I am thinking a single turbo like BBS kits, or a procharger, paxton or vortec set up. On a 350 TPI with low compression and appropriate cam,

Or TPI with 10.5:1 healthy cam and big spray shot.


Thoughts?

 

I used to drive my 91Z28 daily until the tranny blew (stock 700R4) so right now I'm getting it ready for a T56 swap. But previous to that I drove the car daily for over a year with no problems. Vortech S-Trim pushing 6psi on a stock L98 with 100+K miles. Soon as I get done with this T56 swap I'm gonna go back to driving it to work everyday.

 

My procharged Z28 is a daily driver. Only real problem is the intercooler blocks all airflow to the radiator(horrible design). I had to flip mine vertically and make it a front mount.

 

My nitroused GTA is my daily. I mean it's gotta be cause I'm in High School. Hence the cheap but effective power adder!

My friend drives his 89 Iroc everyday and will soon have a procharger on it and it will be his only car... My cars already got 475hp so I dont need a power adder, but its gonna be my daily driver....

 

Sorry GreenChevelleSS, got ya beat by about 325 HP with my 67 Chevelle, 505ci, 8/71. To make it interesting I'll run ya with my 92 Heritage Camaro Z28 convertible with a RMT (rear mount turbo), both are daily drivers.

 

that is bad ***.....uhh anyone have pics of their Supercharged motors? i dont care about nos../turbo (unless twin turboed)

 

i used to drive my grand national everyday- it was hard on the car though running 11.6 then driving to work the next day. i wiped a cam bearings so i bought a beater car

i drive paxton camaro to work

 

450+ hp engine and another 210 hp at the push of a button Used to be my daily driver but I got a truck now also. Usually switch between driving the car one week and the truck the next week, when both run right

 

Well youve also got 91ci bigger and a big ole supercharger so I can understand 325hp more than me. Mines naturally aspirated and nothing fancy in the engine on pump gas....

 

I drive my 11.2@122 turbo formula as much as I can. I try not to drive it every day, gas can get exspensive. No drivability problems at all. Drives like a factroy turbo vehicle.

 

I am gongi to be runnnig the BBS kit on a daily driver. There are soemthing 's you will run into if you are trying to keep your smogg ,etc

 

Well,

Went with the spray. GOt a deal on a set up from Kandid.


Thanks for everyone input.

 

u have stock engine with that "spray"?

 

try to drive mine every other day. I put about 30 miles on it yesterday on the hottest day of the year about 95 degrees and temp never went over 185
boosted intercooled stock L98
12.8@118 on first and only run at the track due to badly slipping clutch.

 

Yes, stock short block for now. I am not going to spray more than a 100 shot on it, but got one on the stand to build that will be able to handle 200.

 

Here is my S/C 350

 

I do.... T61 equipped 3.1L V6 here. Whenever I don't screw something up!

 

So what did all you guys do about smogg crap ? It's a bigger and bigger issue every season up here.

May I just say that is one sweet ride. Allmost 100% stock from the outside. Probably a mean sleeper. Bet the exhaust note is pretty knarly though. If you dont mind me asking, what are some of the specs on that dude? Shot size? Carb CFM? Cubic inches? Exhaust?

Allthough.... Packin horsepower like that, I would tell a thing
