D3 Supercharger for the V6 Camaro - Page 4 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

There are also superchargers available for the LY7 as outfitted in holden vehicles.

The LLT is a bit different, but its a head start.

The V8 has two more cylinders, it's simple logic.

A little example:
V4+intake= 105+15=120hp
V8+intake= 335+15hp=350hp.
It's the same way every time. put the same extra money into a larger engine and get more power than if that money was wasted on a small displacement engine.

Maybe I should ask all the base Corvette drivers why they are modding a base Corvette, when they could buy a Z06, or better yet, a ZR1.

I never do understand why all the "ONLY V8" people come all the way over to the V6 forum just to say our cars will suck compared to theirs...

Having one foot in both 'camps'...I think it's a self-importance issue.

The good news is it's rare.

Yeah... I'll just keep chugging on till Camaro Day (probably some time in 2010) and I'll enjoy my V6 Camaro anyway.

When I think of turbo's I think of Porsche's and rice-rockets. This is American muscle though. Not German engineering or spikey haired japanese ricers. SUPERCHARGE THAT MOFO!

Xanthos · 01-07-2009, 06:47 PM

Stroke it!

That would make up for the V6's torque disadvantage.

What about the Buick Grand National?

The Solstice/Sky?
Did you know that they tried to make the ZR1 with Turbos first?

Bore the block to 4.0, replace the pistons, cam, and tune.

P.S. - By the way, I suppose I'm not being completely serious. While these are all possible ways to boost power output, I highly doubt any will be remotely cost effective. I might consider a vortech kit if they come out with one though. I wouldn't every buy one from somewhere like D3 - I would want my kit designed and produced by somebody who solely does superchargers.

I think so, didn't that result in an overabundance of heat

Yes, they had a "Thermal Event".

Oh! That was the specific words used.

I couldn't think of it.

Xanthos · 01-09-2009, 12:00 AM

So... did they have a heat issue or something then?

There's no "official" story...but apparently, they attempted a twin turbo setup, and the engine bay was just too cramped -and hot -- resulting in the car catching fire.
