Most of the transmission work has been done on my new tranny, but still waiting on the LSD, it IS a fully custom one which is going to take another few weeks to get finished, not a quiafe.
I was talking to Brad at Shofastperformance and he was curious why the Kenne bell supercharger, I told him my reasons and he agreed. He also said the option to use a Vortech or Powerdyne is out there too (Like ArkanSHO's V8sho setup).
Kenne Bell's benefits:
-Unique
-Full boost at 2000 RPM
-Sell contained (No oil lines in tranny or oil pan)
Drawbacks:
-Not cheap so less exhaust work can be done (headers duals etc..)
-Custom hood (The front of our cars look good and with the down sweep a cowl would probably look bad)
-Amount of PSI could be very limited
Powerdyne or [Vortech] Centerfugal benefits:
-Proven power
-Boost can be controlled to have 4PSI right off the line
-Self contained and little maintenance [Vortech is not self contained and would require more maintenance]
-PSI can be pretty high (14PSI on ArkanSHO's) Recommended not to go abouve 8 PSI until I get other internal engine work done.
-SLEEPER styling still in full effect
-Cheaper making other work possible during this 2 month period
Drawbacks:
- Not original
Please add any additional comments. I'm starting to lean towards the centerfugal for the sleeper look (he said he can make a bracket for a powerdyne, but include holes for the Vortech also for a future upgrade), and I don't know what the custom hood will look like until it's done, which is scary to spend that much and possibly have something that'll look like crap because it has never been done.
He said I can keep my car another couple weeks because he won't be doing any work until he gets the tranny done anyways. So I'll be able to get him to put the 13" Baer Rotors on while he's doing that. I'm thinking I might want to do something about the rear drums, but I don't have the money at the moment because of this big project..
Advice advice that is what I need...
