aight so I'm about to get a loan so i can dumb in my car...and i think i have a pretty good idea of the things i need to get to get what i want.(if that came out right)
neway ive decided to go with the supercharger route and i notice alot of you guys here are happy with the GM S/C so my questions are this.
I plan on going with the 9:1 CR pistons which come with the rods and rings and all that good stuff so i can raise the boost. Can/should I use the "secret cam swap" or is there something else that you guys recommend? also naturally i would want to get more aif flow and fuel so i was gonna get the Intake manifold off the 2.3 HO since the aftermarket ones are so expensive and this one is bigger than stock. Will it fit with the S/C and what throttle body should i go with?
I'll be honest i know nothing about fuel injectors so any help will be useful here..
and the pistons have a .02" bore (im pretty sure) so what size valves would be sufficient? I think that about covers it... if I left anything out that you guys think i should have or that i need PLEASE let me know and hold the flames if any... i was just asking so i can start pricing so i know how much to borrow... THANX A MILLION!
...are you trolls that dumb that you cant realize mid 15s is slower then 14s?
o i forgot.... i plan on taking the A/C out because i dont use it at all...is there a smaller belt that i should get or would it be easier just to leave it in? i know it doesnt take that much power leaving it in but i figured it might help out with space..

Well thats all fine and good, but I dont suggest getting a loan to buy upgrades for your car. Unless of course you need a new engine or something to that effect. Thats just my humble opinion.

The S/C has its own manifold, so the 2.3 manifold won't do anything for you.
DO NOT finance mods, if you can even get a bank to give you loans for them. There is no reason to borrow and ruin your credit for something you can easily save for and do gradually. You need a LOT more research before your ready to do high hp mods to your car from reading your post.

true true....i see where your coming from, but i have priced alot of those parts before and i think it will all cost under 10K...so i should be able to pay that back fairly quickly...but no disrespect intended at all i wasnt really askin about the loan...

Start reading the FAQ's...
BTW, I have $10k or so in loans, costing me $300 a month for 6 years, I couldn't imagine doing that with mods, I did all my mods (body kit, paint, hood, interior, $4000 turbo kit, nitrous on my old car, old body kit, etc) all by saving a couple bucks...

well i already got money saved...the loan is just to give me that extra i need so im not sitting around looking at my parts and having that "cant wait to get them in" feeling... and i did read the FAQ's that is where i got most of my information on what i posted. i was just wondering on fuel injectors, valves, and if the HO mani. would fit with the S/C, and if there was anything else that i should get or if i was missing something

There is a whole FAQ, in the boost forum, called the "New boost FAQ" that shows how to size your injectors. As I stated above, the HO manifold will NOT work with the S/C.
The reason i say you need more research is this:
Bigger valves mean you are going to do head work, port & polish, plus lower compression. The S/C wont' support more than 10-12 PSI before the charge air gets so hot that it robs more power than it makes. With a P&P, the S/C will make less boost, combined with lower compression, bigger valves, you are going to be disappointed with how much money you spend and what you get in return.
