Is it possible to supercharge a VF 3.6 with nothing but a VCM and tune?

[Rooney69]

My car is a 2014 VF Calais V 3.6 with 115k on it and all I have done to it is a VCM intake and custom tune.

If I wanted to have it supercharged would I by default need to have ALL other basics mods done first?

Like exhaust and cam/head package?

Forgive my lack of knowledge but yeah just wanting some advice about this.

Yeah man you can do it on stock exhausts and cams.

Just install the kit , get tuned .

I really want to know how to have the V6 auto box handle the extra torque. Many threads I've seen regarding results of turbocharging or supercharging LFX commodores and Camaros mention "driveline problems", broken input shafts or having to rebuild the box. but alas, no one seems to know bugger all about the 6L45 box

I've not seen that many failures with the 6l50 and assumed theyd be decent as they're behind the Colorados even with the diesels.

Variable vane turbo technology and direct injection makes a lot low down.

I wonder if it's the amount of torque produced at the high shaft speed ?

The 6l45 are supposed to be a lighter & stronger tranny than the 6l50.

You'll need a decal for your windscreen:

In answer to the original topic of the thread, you'll need a supercharger, a VCM & tune won't supercharge an engine.

Wonder what fitment issues it introduces, trying to put that VZ-aimed kit into a VF?
Like whether any spinny-thing interferes with another spinny-thing, if pipe lengths need to change, if there's not room to route the piping in the same locations ... ?

Also ... and sorry, but I've been itching to say this since the thread appeared ... but in answer to the original question --> no, you need to also buy a supercharger!
