Does anyone know about the supercharger, where to get it, or anything about it! I would love to do that to my car, i dont think i can wait for the SRT supercharger to come out, it might take to long.

I'm in the process of designing a supercharger for my SC300. When it's done I plan on getting a few produced for resell. I'm not going to use a twin-screw type like that car, that would REQUIRE a new hood...and I want to be able to fit it under the factory hood. Right now I think the Vortec V-1 S supercharger is the main model I'm looking at. Also the Paxton Novi 1000, but the Vortec has more features, and is available satin or chrome.

Also the one there would require you to remove the blower every time you replace spare plugs, clean intake, etc. Yuck! But it is over 400hp.....that's hard to get with a centrifugal type supercharger.

And to me, it seems as though this car was made for supercharing...hence the SC in SC300. It doesn't REALLY mean sports coupe. lol

Nope....won't fit the 400. I'll be putting the supercharger to the left of the engine, and on the 400's that space is filled with....engine! Sorry! I'm sure that you can make one for it tho.... Any local welding/fab shop should be able to make the mounting parts and stuff.
