:pwhat type of Supercharger type does GM use on factory vehicles...
Sorry to keep pumping you for info - but this is a topic on which I have virtually NO knowlege base  |
I havent been under every hood, but Ive seen roots style superchargers on GM cars. (especially the 3.8L) yeah there is some lost power because a blower is belt driven, its not a big amount, and with the amount of HP and Torque you gain it wont matter they have different belts and pullies to minimize the effect though. and yeah a underdrive pulley would free up some horses.

yeah I like whipple to...really the exact same thing, but whipple is a little more flexable for your cars needs most of the internals can be changed out, upgraded, and interchangeable. but the can get a lil pricey.
