How much weight do they add to the front of the car?How bad is the handling affected? GTS Bruce
Turbo/supercharger systems

I would think the obvious HP gain would offset the added weight easily.
I would say my super charger and intercooler, fuel pump, injectors and misc hardware would add up to maybe 65-75 lbs.

Probably no effect in a straight line.OK but what does it feel like when cornering?Making the nose heavier in a car with serious understeer and a lot of body roll must make it worse.Right?Hell I can feel the difference between full fuel and empty.Trunk loaded and empty.Beer case and empty(Ok mostly empty) GTS Bruce
C'mon Bruce, you know you want to be #3 in line this summer for a shiny new SC under the hood...
All it takes is an e-mail in this direction to make it happen! (You dont want a FASTER Viper within 2 miles of your house... do you?)

Bruce, did not notice any change in the handling of the car adding the supercharger or the twin turbos.
I would think you could corner weight the car set to how you like it for the baseline, then adjust it after the system has been added to make the same front to rear percentages and as close to the same cross bias as possible. I did not road race the car that much, but did do an entrance ramp going even faster than I had NA. I think you would hardly notice anything.
I can tell you that the car would definitely run hotter if you were road coursing it with higher power.
