he said he had a fresh build, a crate 3.8 from zzp wouldnt do anything really, so its more diff than that.

it would be cool to see twin fullsize IC's along with like a 2.5 pulley then a meth inj

ohh btw what gears do you have? or what diff do you have otherwise i know someone with a brand new diff from intense

First off I build my own engines and would not benifit from a ZZP crate engine,I'm actually thinking of a stroker with splayed 4bolt mains,I am considering their aluminum heads and I also am considering anIC'd Whipple for FI and a small shot of Nitrous is a possibilty,as far as a turbo build they're great but it's just not the direction I want to go,I am just in the planning stages and parts collecting I have acess to a full machine shop and an experienced machinest to give me a hand .Chico

Nice, Cant wait to see this build develop.

Given those factors I think I would check in with Whipple since I think they could fix you up with a supercharger that will pump far more than any other blower given the space considerations. If they can provide intercooling as well then your machinist can most likely modify or fabricate an intake manifold to suit your needs.

Aside from that, I dont know what sizes or flows the Novi units can produce. Either way, if you build a stroker motor (which I think would be boss as hell) then youre gonna need something that will breathe deep to boost you into the 10s.

I think we are all gonna be chomping at the bit to see where you go on this one. No to mention maybe catching you and your ride on Speed Channel if the do a show on the Power Tour.

Complete waste of money

I don't know much about the various options for a S/C just the basics. I'd say those new heads from ZZP would be a good place to start.

I think CSC is probably the best SC for our engines. The 3.8 V6 has plenty of torque on the low end already, and the CSC acts more like a turbo in that the top-end is where it makes most of its power. It should do a good job in helping the 3800 out where it needs it most.

good luck pops!!!!!!!!

whipple or CSC

CSC will let you use a better water/air intercooler system, not to mention won't heat up your air nearly as bad as a roots type SC would.

Novi 2000 ;-)


Your experience as a strong N/A builder will mesh perfectly with a centrifugal blower.

csc plus a whippie ??

I think there's a Novi 4000 kit for sale over on CGP right now, can't remember the price though.

Novi does seem the way to go if that still counts as a "supercharger" for you chico (still belt driven wink wink haha)

I'm fairly sure I'll go with a MP112 kit or a whipple,as far as the engine it will be tanked then line bored ,stroker crank ,30k bored ,the rest of the rotating assembly I have'nt decided on but I'm looking at ZZP's aluminum heads I just do'nt know if I can justify the cost for performance dollar ,another consideration is using 4 bolt mains for bottom end strength,and no I'm not using the engine I have in the GP that will be going in the Midget!!and I have one other project in mind I'm making a Rat Rod out of my 50 chev P/U and I would like to use the LS1 out of the GTO and replace that with a LS7 this should keep me busy for a week or two.Chico(pops)
