Supercharger

**F55c6** · 05-28-2010, 05:07 PM

Will the stock drivetrain (rearend) of a SS hold up with the addition of a Vortech supercharger adding approximately another 100 HP?

It can and has before but will it.......most don't

Hard to say, but odds are against you

**F55c6** · 05-28-2010, 05:12 PM

Any suggestions on a replacement?

You have 3 options:

Dana 60
Ford 9"
GM 12 bolt

From my understanding is this: 12 bolt is the weakest of the 3, Ford 9" sucks more parasitic power to turn, and the Dana 60 is the pig (weight)!

If you do a search in Drivetrain, you will find many answers to your questions

Thats what I've heard. I could always make it up with a Fast 102/102 tho

Keep the tires on the slippery side and it should be okay

If you road race it or auto x it would be fine just no slicks and hard launches.

A Supercharger isn't going to be much fun if all you do is spin the tires all day....

Get a rear end, some SFCs, LCAs, and DR's.

Then get a S/C.

Are you telling me that if I have 450rwhp and I stomp on it from a roll I am going to hook with street tires?

But people who autox and road race with a tire as sticky as a hoosier a6 and the like don't generally upgrade the diff. If it was drag racing then it would be essential to be competitive.

true, will have to wait for OP to return

You also can get a fab'd rear. The one moser makes is shit. In fact all their stuff is shit.
The stock 10 bolt will be fine if you spin. It's when you hook that's the issue.

I think that moser makes a great product for the price. Do you have some bad first hand experience?
