Smile Does PI 2800stall TC work with Supercharger?

I'm on the verge of getting a Supercharger and was wondering if the PI 2800stall Torqueconverter I got a couple of months ago is compatible with a supercharger? I read something that Morris wrote that PI had a special TC to work with the SC. However someone else told me my 2800 stall would work fine.

Likewise I've got a 3.76 LSD and am wondering if that is going to work?

Any advice is welcome
Ivan

3dog,

Have you searched for 'stall supercharger'? I know I've got a couple of posts out there on it, one sec.

edit - here you go

I suspect you're going to have serious traction issues with the 3.76 and 2800 stall TC, bounce of the rev limiter under WOT or potentially both issues.

Your 2800 stall will work, but may contribute to the problems above. There is a special TC for FI cars PI builds with a 'turbo stator pump'. If you're within two years of buying your TC they will change the stall for you (2600 is working great with my SC) and might change those inner pieces as well.

Personally I'd try it and see if you have problems, then change it if you do.

Well Dave all this makes me wonder if I really want to get a supercharger. All I want to do is get faster 0-60 and if I'm hitting rev limiter all the time that is no fun. I'm also concerned about having to change TC and LSD.

Thanks I'll have to think about this some more

well at least with fi you get to 60 a lot faster

but with 2800, from what i read (like what dave mentioned), i think you are going to have problems
