Forced induction. Good or bad?

[firestarter2]

Not much info out there from the real world. Lethal was showcasing theirs but I haven't seen much in a long time. What am I missing. Is it just plain dumb to want to add to the voodoo engine? 3 supercharger systems available but where is the interest? Perhaps there is none.

The car was made to be a NA beast. Nothing is wrong with FI but at the point you might as well turbo the GT and save the money.

Turbos also change the handling for a car with the instant power and tq they provide. Honestly some of the turbo cars have so much TQ down low I question how safe they are.

There is a blown motor on FB GT350 owners from forced induction. It is costing him an arm and a leg to have it rebuilt. Say no to FI!!! LOL I have always been an N/A car guy as fi is the easy way to go fast. I rather my skill and car capabilities reflect my speed on the road course.

For frame of reference, a co-worker of mine has a 2016 C7 Z06 Z07 and he runs about 1:45 @ Barber MSP. He has more power, less weight, better aero and yet I still run a similar lap time....He hates it!!!! LOL

This is good to know, my thinking was if the chevy cars take a solid platform and supercharge it would we need to do the same to compete with them, from what you are telling me the answer is a clear no. Id like to see what happens on a track with a power adder and temps, but if this motor will really set someone back 25k when it pops I wont hold my breath waiting to see someone try it.

Don't get me wrong. The Z06 is more capable and faster car. When we came out of the turns he would annihilate me in the straights lol. There are many factors one big one being the drivers capability.

I would like to be able to annihilate the vette in the straights, but not at the expense of a 25k motor i suppose .
