Looking for ideas to make my car faster
My car is already supercharged, but I'm looking for ways to make it even faster. Has anyone put nitrous on a supercharged engine? Pros and cons.
What about a smaller pulley for the charger, or aftercooler. What about an intercooler. I'm looking for a safe and dependable way to further soop up my roadster. Any ideas?

WOW!! SC'ed and still want more speed ... you best bet is to get an aftercooler when it comes out and raise the boost by 1-2psi. if you want to shoot NOS/SC at the same time, its best to do some bottom end to make sure your pistons/rings would be able to handle that much extra power. Tranny/Diff would be the weak link when it comes to that much HP on your S. good luck on your upgrades.

All of these are things you should research. For very good reasons no one on this board has up'ed the boost on a SC yet. Many of us are just waiting for AEM EMS to come out, to make this possible. Just be patient, because someone here will do it first, and save you some money when they report their issues/problems with the upgrade.

My car is going to the shop next Mon. Installing NOS around 40 shot, and clutchmaster stage III clutch, and RO JA 18" wheels. I already have the comptech supercharger and like u I wanted more power. I installed the apex- vfac, bigger injectors 440 cfm, mugen header, comptech catalytic converter and exhaust. All the things made a difference but hard to tell since I did them all seperately. The intercooler and smaller pulley will make a big diffrence but I can't wait till they come out so went with nos. I'll let you know next wends. Also I didn't do any lower engine work but have a spare engine just in case.

Deffinetly go with 4.44 gears , you'll feel a big difference(from experience). Go with J's final gear, contact Yasu at Racingcraft.com or Mingster at Import Development.
