I know this is kind of vague but over the years I think I've read more disapointing stories about supercharging an sn95 cobra and having an issue than cobras with superchargers still running strong. Is it just me?
I'm in the middle of a huge decision, whether to buy a local SC for dirt cheap or continue with my original plan. Here's part of the story: I'm in college, going to University soon if the gods allow it, I work part time but I don't pay rent nor see moving out with a gf in the near future. I'm more inclined to staying NA as I do not want to risk spinning bearings, not getting a good tune (most tunners locally are for imports), belt slip issues, and just plain blowing up my motor. Reason I'd rather not risk those is I'm in college and if it breaks its gonna sit for a year before I can fix it. I don't really want to get into anything extensive in this point in life; also the car is my DD lol.
My original plan: full bolt ons, LTs, tune, gears (done), k member, suspension work (80% done), free weight reduction, and a 100 shot just in case. Also, long term would be a T56 as I need that extra gear! Having to end a close race at the top of 4th is no fun (4.10s).
My goals for this car are nothing crazy, I'd love to dip into the 12's NA (hopefully gears, LTs, bolt ons, tune should do it). Than the ocassional shot for fun. I don't race much at all, I don't visit the track too often, nor do I participate in street racing often. The only people I street race are my friends as I know them.
I know basics on SC but not enough to carry the procedure out on my own nor deal with the issues that pertain to SC at times.
Sorry for the long book, but what would y'all suggest? Share your wisdom please.
