Im strongly debating supercharging my 08 L61 but Im having some concerns. I know hp wise, I should be ok on the stock internals. What I am concerned about is the transmission and clutch. Im not having any issues now, but I've heard that sc-ing an L61 cause cause the clutch to slip and similar.

I just dont see the value in doing full bolt ons and only gaining 35-40 hp. Especially since for the same price I could make over 200 with a supercharger and probably cost less.

So can yall ease my mind before I decide to fully commit to this?

 

Get a new clutch also

 

Transmission will be fine. People have pushed them over 400whp. Clutches are hit and miss. I know 1lowls said his stocker held fine for like a year after going boosted. Mine started slipping the first time I got into boost and steadily got worse until I finally got the chance to swap it out almost 2 months later.

 

yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah buddy.I'm over a year boosted factory clutch,currently @ 107,000 miles.No slip I'm on a 2.9 pulley,full bolt ons and run a 20% blend of E85,soon to be 50%.It runs 22* of timing advance too.

 

I hope you at least do full exhaust.

Start saving for a clutch once your done installing the S/C

 

Well I'm going to start saving for all of it. I can't afford to just rush out and buy it tomorrow. But I'm gonna do all the bolt ons that I can first in preparation for going supercharged in the future. When I do exhaust I'm gonna do it right and swap headers, downpipe, and catback. Probably 2.5" all the way back.

 

Im all 2.5"
