Do you really need a supercharger kit to make your car its fastest?

Question

Is this really necessary or can you buy a Cold Air intake system, a SS Crank pulley, a Header, and some fire racing spark plugs and call it a day for a much, much, cheaper price. No need to buy a bigger exhaust the company that furnishes my car has a decent sized exhaust, so know need to buy a bigger one of those. Anyway, are those 3 things basically all I need and really don't need to buy a supercharger kit for maximum power performance for my car?

Answer 1

It will help, but good flowing heads and big cam will give you more power than those el cheepo supercharger kits they sell for street cars.

Answer 2

Well usually allowing cooler and cleaner air to enter the car usually gives your engine a few more horses. But a supercharger kit will give it tons more horses than just a header , spark plugs and the cold air intake system.

Answer 3

supercharge is for quick pick ups..while turbo is for major top speed and torque

Answer 4

A supercharger gives a great bang for the buck, but you don't need one. It just boosts horsepower by a bunch. All those other add-ons won't add up to what a properly installed supercharger will accomplish. You might want to look into nitrous oxide systems. They are fairly cheap and only work when you want them to.

Answer 5

They work. Turbo's work well also.
