I knew a bloke in a VR V8 who supercharged his car, his engine only lasted two weeks.
Major internals problem after he was dragging at a local 1/8th mile strip.
Motor didn't sound too healthy. I don't know what PSI he had running though.

My friend had one on his VS SS but after a couple years at 240 rwkw he broke the engine, bent the block, totally ruined. 20+ grand later he has the alloy come racing engine, with supercharger

 

[VNSSMAN]

Righto... So far sounds like its no good.
What about stroker kits?

 

[stockvp]

been pricing the only one i could come up with was from come racing and is was $2500 iwas thinking of doin it to my vp 6

 

[VNSSMAN]

Yeh i cam across those guys too. How many horses for the 6 if done?

VNSSMAN, if you want to go really fast for really cheap, I think you would be better off buying a VP V6 with the series two engine in it and running a turbo or supercharger on that, the engine is a little stronger than the 5 liter and muuuuuuch cheaper to replace/fix if you break it

 

[VNSSMAN]

Dont wanna go really fast.. Just want the balls when i need it. If i hav a car full of guys going on a road trip and i hit a decent size hill the car will struggle. I want something that will keep the pace. Already hav cai and k&n just lookin at some headers at moment. Going to get pacemakers tri-y design. See what its like then if unhappy still then stroke it. To many negative opionons about supercharges. Just wanna make the most of v8. Otherwise why hav one with fuel the way it is
