I've been resisting the mod temptation for 4 years now. It finally wins so I took my car in for quick inspection and plan out the supercharged setup.
It'll be paxton with Belanger headers, high flow cats, and corsa cat back. The parts will arrive in a week and I should have my renewed toy in hopefully 2-3 weeks. It'll be the toughest wait of my life .
Since mine is a 2000 creampuff ACR, the mechanic suspects that it could be well built in 99 which means it actually has forged internals. We jacked the car up, he crawled under and see no build code. He assures me engine must have been pulled out before. The only reason for this is a rebuild, at the time the only shop to do this is Arrow. Sticker on the door says build date is january 2000, so he is certain that it has forged internal. The creampuff piston didn't arrive until mid year 2000. He said he has seen few cars built in mid 2000 and has forged internal.
It's very likely that mine is not so creampuff and was also rebuilt by Arrow. I should get the confirmation in the next few days when he would run the vin by dodge dealer. What do you guys think? Can't stop the grinning
I'm looking at having 520rwhp with this setup, may be more. The number is quite low comparing to what I've read on the board here. The guy is a true racer so I had the trust him. He said it's really setup for reliability (6-8lbs boost). What do you guys think? I'm so exciting ... forgot to ask him much about hp numbers.
