supercharging

[sam8s]

hi, this has probably been asked before but cant find much info.

im seriously considering supercharging my vz ss 5.7L

motor is completly standard apart from defillipo system
ive seen the raptor and vortech supercharger kits that are in my price range and seem to have reasonable power outputs.

are these kits safe on a standard engine or will i be risking blowing parts?, obviously ill have to keep the pressure below 8psi.

ill be doing all the work my self, apart from tuning, this is why im thinking of the blown approach apposed to cam work as it seems alot easier
or would anyone recommend the extra work and do the internals instead?

also how do the 4 spd autos cope with the power?

thanks for any help.

most engines will handle a few psi no problem, if you plan to run serious boost then youd need to do work. In short the stock engine should be able to run the s/c at a few psi no probs
