Screw that, this guy and his popcorn! I'm going to be the one racing against some SRT-4's with it!

 

I thought we were not allowed to say that^^^ word in here anymore??

 

DAMNIT!! WHERES A FREAKIN VIDEO!!

 

looks good

 

o man o man o man cant wait for this... and there is gonna be enough space on the adapter plate for a water/meth nozzle? im assuming there will be.. but anywho it looks good guys!

 

what are we estimating HP and TQ to be?

 

i think its back in one of the other threads about this....i thought i saw 300 somewhere for hp...? dont know about torque.

 

if i can make 350whp with this i will be happy and a 50 shot to make 400whp and then im set

 

Your dreamin, not gonna get 350whp

 

Not without blow a head gasket or lossing a piston. Cometic head gasket, Eagle Head studs, and forged pistons should fix that though. Possibly a modified fuel system, but that is yet to be determined.

 

Lets not get into this again. This is how the last thread got out of hand. Lets just wait and see the numbers when they're here.

 

I agree. We need to wait and see for sure, but the pistons are only rated to 400 crank HP. Granted the twin screw will free up quite a bit of power which might give us a little more room to play. I can't wait to find out.

 

If the SC takes less to turn, you will be able to get more hp with no more strain on the pistons.

 

Thats great news. However, its bad news to check on this thread when you see it in the top 10 threads. Then when you go directly to the last page you hope to find a dyno sheet and a starting price for a group buy on the complete kit to swap your super charger. Would love to see gains of 40+ whp just from a swap! Anyone estimating on what kind of gains we will see? Will the GM stage kits work with it? I guess only time will tell...


I thank your right however the stock gasket should be fine up to 400hp. Anyways from what I have read time and time again the stock gasket it not the problem. Its the studs. So a forged bottom end, and eagle head studs should do the trick. I heard the cometic head gasket is the same thing as the stock gm gasket. Correct me if I'm wrong...

 

Actually, I'm seeing that the stock head gaskets are blowing right around 300, but it could also be the head studs causing the issue. I know 300 seems to be the magic number lately for the blown head gaskets though..

 

Stock pistons are good till 400HP at the crank so like 360ish to the wheel?
what about valve springs , rods , and so on .
where are you getting your info from im not calling bullshit or calling you a lier just interested where i can find the facts?

 

I'm just askin because I haven't seen anyone. Is anyone making over 300WHP? I've seen a couple people CLOSE....the closest is 290 something....is it the turbo conversion people that are blowing the head gaskets? Just wondering man....

 

Geez this is taking forever! At this rate, me and George will be don't with my W75AX swap before tag even fires the car up!

 

Whats a W75AX??
I know it a blower, but what size?? Off of what??

 

Its a whipple supercharger. Very powerful.

 

I think its the same thing as this but its forged so it can spin faster. Blown, how did you find one? Arent they not in production anymore?

 

They are no longer in production anymore, you just have to look, and find a used one.

 

Dude that is an awsome blower.

I found some comparison specs on whipple blowers. The W75AX stacks up nicely.

Look at the Liters to psi ratio for all the blowers. Sweet.

Hmm, whipple is just sexalicious! But if the blowers are basically the same, only one is forged, couldn't the Lysolm (didn't spell it right) just be forged or something to produce the same power? If not, I'm interested in that Whipple one as well. Keep us posted on it Blow 4 Banger!!


It is an awesome blower. Mmmmm, Whipple whine.....*drool*

 

A tech at my dealership works on a 1,100 hp drag Cobalt and said he got that info from Bate's Engineering. He said the cams are good for 600hp, pistons and rods ~400. Can't remember on the crank or sleeves. My numbers could be off a little. It was over a year ago I discussed it with him.

Not sure on valve springs. He already installed the Bate's Titanium spring set. He is currently running a 2.5 pulley, custom header (he made himself), through muffler (not sure which one) and a 100 shot of nitrous. Said he dynoed 343. I would think that he also upgraded the head gasket and head studs when he swapped cams. He took them back out be cause the cam sensor was off and it was giving him a CEL.
