How much does an supercharger install effect your alignment?

[drumstick]

I’m getting an alignment regardless- just wondering how much it/if it effects the alignment?

Very little.

I mean, it's probably another 150 pounds, I'd guess, over the front end. That's not going to have much of an effect on alignment. You're not changing any of the suspension geometry, just adding a bit of weight. Given that each of these cars has suspension that's dialed in to support a person/persons anywhere from the lightest single driver, around 100 pounds, to probably 1400 pounds of fully loaded weight with people and luggage, you're not doing anything, really. It'll shift the center of gravity a bit, as well as the F/R weight distribution.

It depends on what springs and stuff you have already. We had the BMR drag springs on our car and the front end dropped by an inch to an inch and a half after we put the whipple on. While some people may say oh it isn't a huge deal, most aftermarket springs drop you about an inch from stock and you'd be an idiot to not get an alignment going from stock to an inch lowered so I'll let you answer your own question.

I'm on Steeda minimum drop springs the added weight of the Whipple dropped my car about an extra 1/4" over the 1/2" the springs give you. It changed the camber a bit, but not out of spec when I put it on the alignment rack. It's a good idea to check after install for sure.

I have a shop that is willing to do "custom specs" my question is what specs do you guys recommend for my "contact patch" or should I just align it to spec? The car makes 750+whp, I'm looking for an alignment that would work best for all of the situations- "mexico," dragstrip," (both on radials) and daily driving with my OEM PP wheels.

I daily drive about 25 miles a day roundtrip for work, so not far at all.

Align it to spec, get the rear closer to the zero side of camber.
