Finally ordered all the supercharger parts for my daily driver Sonic Blue Convertible GT (really like my car!). I've Been waiting 9 years to do this. Already installed a T56 with Pro 5.0 shifter and electronic reverse lockout two year previous after two T3650 failures on a stock engine with mild daily driving. What a BIG improvement in shifting and gear ratios.
Background: 10 years previous built my original owner 88 GT to 450 HP with a Powerdyne SC, AFR heads, Stage II Roller Blower Cam, Roller Rockers, Speed Pro Pistons with matched filed rings, Stage II rods, Crank Girdle, Bassani 2.5 dual H Pipe exhaust system, with fully modded suspension, etc. Six months after finishing some a..hole ran me into a guardrail. Still have the car. Mechanically perfect, still starts but not drivable. When finished not super daily drivable.
So I am NOT going break my daily driver, keep OEM driving qualities and keep the tune safe. Everything I've read is do not exceed 400 RWHP. Is that correct or is it 400 HP off the motor?
Right now changing the clutch. Replacing the main seal is apparently a career event. Next replacing original 135K mi struts and shocks with KYB Excel-g units. Supercharger due in next week.
