Long time no post!

I'm looking to supercharge my motor. I know the motor will handle it, I just hope it fits under my hood.. Confused

2" Goodmark cowl hood. And I was looking at the roots style Vortec 144. (lowest profile I could find) Holley 670cfm street avenger carb. I'm sure I'll have to find a lower profile air filter, I just don't want to cut a hole in a hood and I want to keep the cowl. Anyone have experience with this? I saw that someone in the "Camaro Performance Handbook" had a B&M supercharged motor, but it didn't say what model or if it had a huge ass 4" cowl hood.

Thanks

You can buy an entry level Vortec Centrifugal for almost the same price and it will make more power and will surely fit under that hood

I guess I just like the look of the roots better. Will my carb work with a centrifugal since its blowing through instead of pulling?

minor mods and it will work.

remote turbo? You mean back by the axle style?

blue89 · Posted: Tue Nov 29, 2011 1:16 pm Post subject:

Exactly.

Yeah that's true. I'm installing the zexel torsen soon. And I should probably look at getting a t56...

Forgot I even made that post. Thanks Aaron! Lol. But yeah I know I need to do other mods first, I just spend a lot of time on summit when im bored and dream about what my car can look like in the future. Andy, what size gears are the ones you gave me? 3.23's? Installing that's going to be next. Then a windshield, then probably start saving money to get the t56. Just as a side question, I know a lot of you guys have done the t56 swap. How much start to finish would it be? I know there's a lot of components that go into it, and I've seen kits, but for some reason there isn't a kit for the 91.. Evil or Very Mad

you already have the "petals" and stuff so its not too much of a job, if you had an automatic switching to a t56 it would be a lot more work

Don't install 3.23 gears in a car destined to run a T-56. Laughing

No doubt!

I had 4.10 gears in my Z28 and it felt "normal". RPM's still low on freeway. It's the way it should have been from factory. Kid that bought my car trashed the rearend within days and put in a rear with 3.73 gears. Wishes for the 4.10's back.

My dad's '99 Z28 with stock 3.42 and T56 feels like it needs more gear. They should have had at least 3.73 stock.
