I was at my local auto parts store and some guy came up there in a rust bucket and he says he has a cobalt ss/sc with a stage 3 supercharger and he said his gm stage 2 is on the way. I was wondering what is the stage 3 supercharger and what it consist of (if there such a thing) thank you.

it consists of a brown paper bag, a nice steamy dog turd, a match, and a cranky neighbors front porch... that's about it...

no such thing as stage 3 supercharger and gm stage 2, you either have stage 3 from intense or gm, not both....he's a liar...

i remember somewhere reading that there was a hybrid supercharger that the time attack cobalt used but that info seems to have fallen into the horizon and im too lazy to look it up

How about a 3 stage supercharger is there such a thing like that.

I believe hybrid refers to the cooling system used for the supercharger.

To summarize:

And I'll add my own NO to the list...

Thats what I thought

By hybrid Supercharger they mean that the interior helix gears that drive the supercharger are different, (almost like having a smaller pulley). Its an almost one off blower from Eaton that noone can buy.

I think i remember seeing a few places that do blower porting referring to different port jobs/styles as "Stage ___" SO perhaps he got his blower ported from one of those places and had their "Stage 3" port job performed, whatever that involves. If thats not what he meant, than yeah, he's most likely full of crap.

Was he drunk perhaps? That might explain something

JerseyJay

damn there's a lot more of you SS.net guys up at 3am than over on the jbo lol

hennessey833

maybe he doesn't even have a cobalt... why would you drive ur pos to the auto store when you could feel coo driving you cobalt, lol.

JerseyJay

iso

i work 3rd shift maintenance at a factory... basically i sit on my ass in my office from 11pm-7am every night except most saturdays and sundays. Took this shift so I'd have more time to go to the track
