Default Re: The official eaton supercharger thread.

I would have gone this route initially had I known there was enough room. The engine compartment is deceiving with all the stock components in place. I chose the supercharger because it took less space than the factory intake manifold and I knew the linear output would be easily tunable(not to mention I had it from a previous project). The turbo is sooo much better an option and it will stand out from the already supercharged SRT6. With the supercharger, as engine speed increases so does the power requirement from the supercharger and efficiency drops, the horsepower curve plateaus abruptly. So far the increased low end torque has only made it hard to retain traction. I look forward to a little lag and than pull hard all the way to redline. Not to mention I'll be able to change boost with a twist of a valve. The hard part in all of this was not the fabrication anyway. It was figuring out how to make it work without throwing cels and hitting fuelcut and getting the right timing and AFR. Look at the TT crossfire and tell me why a project of that monetary caliber failed. The project isn't ending, its just evolving into what it should have been in the first place.
