Do you need to upgrade the stall converter on a l99 for a centri
or roots superchargered car.was wondering what set up all the supercharged l99 guys are running.

If your going to track the car, yes it will help.

Depends on the size of your cam... It'll help you at lights

my l99 is Maggie with 590 at the rear, tranny is tuned by livernois , 2c cam ,, stock stall converter,,, drives nearly like stock till you are on boost.. I also have a DSS aluminum driveshaft which was a major improvement over the stock shaft

Mild blower cam. A lot of people recommend upgrading it especially on a centrifical type blower.opposed to a roots style

Unless the cam is pretty aggressive, I wouldn't add a higher stall converter with a p/d blower. Especially a TVS. With a centri, I would if qtr mile/stoplite performance really matters to you.
