okay back from springfield motorsports.

A guy named Wheat was a HUGE help. They had everything I was looking for and he did the installation for me. Easy installation, but still very nice of him. Now...the best part was...he didn't charge ANYTHING for parts or labor. He refused money several times, but I did agree to spread the word about how helpful they were.

Car should be running in the sweet spot now, but won't know until next dyno run.

Glad to hear you got it fixed



Now... WIDEBAND O2

nitrous on its on yes..


stroker...not so much.... keep in mind that the SC for the S doesn't give you much low end. You could use the stroker to get low end torque and power, and then with the 2.5 the supercharger would be even more powerful.

the power output when you get the supercharge is still very dependent on the blower..... spending 5k on a 2.5 stroker for a supercharged S is pointless....

Yea it is, but you're talking about peak HP... keep in mind that the stroker would add a lot of low end grunt which could be useful for road track application since its still NA power... and not turbo... so it would easier to manage... and in turn youd get a much wider power curve because the stroker motor dies out at the top end... The SC at that point would help the power continue getting higher...



Is this something that I would do? No... but still sounds like it would work if someone did this setup.
