When it comes to supercharging a car this question comes up often, "is it safe" The answer to this is more complicated than just saying yes or no.

At a base level, putting a blower on a car with a safe boost level and a proper tune allows the engine to last for a long time. When we do install here we have done plenty of LT1s and they have had blowers on for a while and are real fun to drive and have had no issues. *
Most popular superchargers we have installed lately would be prochargers and magnusons, both are wonderful options for making "Safe" Power but they can both be turned up if you so desire to.

when you put a supercharger on a car you need to make sure that you stay up and all your general maintenance, oil changes, plugs, etc.

Before you go down the FI route you need to have a goal in mind, how much do you want to make? Do you want to run pump gas or e-85? What is your budget?

E-85 while requiring a fuel system is a really good gas to use on the LT1 motor, or any motor in general. It is much safer than 91-93 *and is a good gas option for these higher compression motors.

If you need help planning your build or would like to discuss your plans and goals please give us a call! Or dm me!**
