supercharger question

[Bad Info]

i have a 1997 camaro with 1998 3.8 motor, i have put throttle body spacer on,air intake. did the exhaust cat back, dyno tuned it. If i put a supercharger on it, will i need to re dyno tune the car? or maybe what else will i need to do to the car

Re: supercharger question

hmm, a dyno tune with the mods you listed seems a bit much.

would you HAVE to re-dyno tune no. You could get a program like HPtuners and do you own tuning. and it really depends on how much boost you plan on running as well.

Re: supercharger question

well the dyno was real cheap so i did it. wasnt much difference tho lol. but i guess ill just get a SC and slap it on and go

Re: supercharger question

a sc kit will come with a FMU so that will give you the fuel. My question though with your dynotune is if they advanced the timing by quite a bit. If so you are going to want to retard that timing back down with the blower and run higher octane gas.

Re: supercharger question

well i do run on high octane now, and i dont think the timeing was set that high tho, but im not fully sure. i cant tell much difference in car performance than before tho

good advice, also i wouldn't just (slap) a S/C on. If you dont have tuning software, I would wait. You wont be able to view anything going on with your motor, (ie knock, a/f ratio, advance)

Re: supercharger question

man i guess i would need to find that guy again and tell him what im doing, so he can put it back on the dyno

Re: supercharger question

You don't need it put back on the dyno. You need to find the guy and ask him what exactly he did to your car. If you got your car dyno tuned then he definetly added timing or else you just wasted your money. You'd be ok running colder plugs and just have him take a good amount of timing back 5deg or so depending on how much he added.

You don't need it back on a dyno to do that.
