supercharger hp gain
 
Im planning on buying a novi 1000 within the next 2 months. I was just wondering what my estimated hp gains and quarter mile times should be with the very few mods in my sig and the supercharger. 315hp and low 13's at the least?

What tranny do you have? You're also going to need some headers, its about the combo. Don't even think about running that blower without headers.

Its the stock T5 5 speed, the supercharger would be the only major mod on the car besides the x-pipe and two chamber flows. Headers are an easy buy, so if i really need them ill get them before the paxton. I was gonna order them last month but didnt because of the stock heads, they wouldnt have done anything if not slow the car down.

Hey, I push 460 rwhp through shorties and side exhaust. Unless you put on heads, cam and intake, just use shorties.

Power gains are based on your base horsepower and how much boost you run. Your current setup is about 180-190 rwhp (worst case). In theory 1 Bar (14.6psig) would double your horsepower. So you would need about 11 psi (with no other changes) to achieve 315rwhp. Certainly anything you do to improve airflow will lower the required boost.

This is just a guide line. Always consider stock head gasket and octane requirements. 9 psi would be consider a limit for stock block/head gaskets. Pressurize with caution!
