Stock bottom end???

AllShow5Oh · 03-28-2001, 03:02 AM

Would the stock bottom end of an 1987 5.0L be able to handle a supercharger pushin 8 PSI and a 175 shot of NOS????

Do you have mass air?

I have seen people run both a supercharger & n20,but they weren't using that much nitrous

A guy awhile back,named Nitrous Pete Misinsky,ran a combination using a supercharger and nitrous set-up.I'll have to see if I can find a magazine article about his car..

Well, the stock bottom end can hold that supercharger easy, it can even take a little more squeeze. Why don't you put the supercharger on and then see if you still want the nitrous? I don't think that it would be able to handle a 175 shot and the blower, probably only 100 with the blower, if that. You say stock bottom end, are you gonna be putting on better heads/intake? If so, that with the supercharger will be more than enough power for whatever you want to do.

I Dont have mass air.
I already have New intake, heads, power Puleys, 3" exhaust, cold air induction, 28lbs jets, fule pump ect.

Start with one or the other, if you have the money go out and grab the supercharger. If you want more than that just go with a bigger shot of nitrous instead of the combo

Ok, so if i were to go with one or the other which one would be best for my engine???
By best I mean which one will put less stress on my bottom end and which will give me the bigger HP boost???

I beleive you will enjoy the supercharger a whole lot more, its easier on the parts, and its always there, you know, like always, allday long . A 175 shot is a pretty big hit on everything, and at that rate of shot it will be empty very quickly.

OK
Thanks for all the help.

I went to a performance shop today and they said the same thing.
