auto's and superchargers

[masterchief2003]

What are the differance's in the way a supercharger would proform and run on a stang with a auto tranny. would it mess with the boost? would it run exactly like it would with a stick? also how much power would be lost with the auto,% wise?

If it makes and differance it would be eather a kenne bell or p1-sc(i thinks thats the one) procharger.

And what would be the better of the two superchargers, mostly street with track use about once a month.

I was wondering the same thing, I think it is 4-5% additional drivetrain loss with the automatic. (untill you install a torque multiplier). The 9 lb intercooled Kenne Bell is going to run about $6,000, whereas the Vortec 9 lb after cooler setup with battery relocation is at $4,800. I have read of people switching back to the screw type blowers after going centri, missing the low end torque, so is this worse with the auto or not as noticable ? Any imput ?

i would be real careful with the trany.the overdrive can not handle boost.trust me,i know.might need to think about a trany at the same time.

no real problems here. yes boost is bad for the OD band, but OD doesn't kick in with boost on my car until like 140mph. i'm not a top end racer, so i'll never hit it.

there isn't any reason that you shouldn't supercharge an auto vs. a manual.

no problems then?

I agree. No problems. I have a Vortech and am at about 330 rwhp as apposed to a similar setup with a 5 sp comes in about 360. So I would say the ratio is about the same, just based off of higher numbers.

PI stall converter + shift kit = no problems

nope, there are plenty of blown autos out there.

Superstreet on fordpower or extremefords.com has a blown auto along with a lot of other stuff pm him on there for any questions.
