As a spontaneous person like I am I bought a S/C without thinking that there is more to it than just buying the S/C. ButI've looked everywhere in this site and I could not really find what I was looking for.

My Car:
MY01
52,500 miles

I recently bought a used Vortech supercharger with defi gauges (oil pressure, boost), and the ACT clutch kit + ACT flywheel from hardtopguy.

Is there anything else I'll need to run the vortech as a daily driver.

I understand that people might want to upgrade their differential but is it necessary? If it is not do I have to baby the car from launch?

How should a car S/Ced w/ stock differential should be driven?

If I do replace the differential, would you guys suggest I just change the gears set up as well? I'm looking at the 4.77 gears.

I'm not looking for 0-60 times, 1/4 times, etc. I just one to have a car that is capable of being pretty fast when I want it to.

Please let me know ANY of your suggestions regarding this matter. If I am missing any questions that I should be asking please let me know.

THanKs for everyone's input ahead of time.

I've pretty much gone for the same on mine.
I'd add a wideband O2 and oil temp/pressure just to be saw.
More details on my sig

 

Get a ACT Clutch, New Disc and maybe a Comptech Flywheel. Install before you put on the SC. If not, you will

 

I think your all set. Most S/C owners here still run with their stock diff. If you know how to launch you should be alright. Just replace that parts that break when/if they do.

Try it running with the stock gears before you think about changing them. Personally, I think 4.77s are too short for an s/c.

 

4.77 will be waaaayyyy too short for an s/c. At MOST 4.57's. I think Comptech even ran 4.44's in their "SuperFour Challenge" s2k. Check it out.... http://www.caranddriver.com/supercarchalle...nge-page18.html

 

i'm running 4.77's and the vortech and first gear is almost unuseable. City driving it's okay but the freeway driving is where it might hurt a little.

 

I have 4.77s w/ my vortech and 1st gear is still useable. I have Toyo T1R 245/45/16 out back.

 

yes I've already bough the entire ACT clutch kit from hardtopguy and I went with the ACT flywheel. I could not find where to buy the comptech flywheel since Comptech is out of business.

 

haha like that. When it breaks fix it! Thanks!

 

Thanks for the article.

Thanks for the suggestions guys, I appreciate it.

Should I be thinking about upgrading the breaks since I'll have more power?
