Huge supercharger on a unexpecting car vs. SC

[ScubaStevo]

Worked on a supercharged SC400 today. History of the paint, about 2 years old, with " over 70 hours of wetsanding". I somehow doubt it, but it does look pretty flat. Paint job itself is rather funny, way too soft, and was burnt rather badly in some places. Oh well.



Exterior got:



Paint was so soft, I had to work with a very weak product, so I used Megs #82 on polishing pad via rotary. x3

Megs#82 via PC on finishing pad to remove haze (yes haze from #82).

Topped with souverian.

Rims were polished with my little wheel and my roto buffer, with blue magic polishing cream.

Tires recieved "Dress it Right" by Automagic

Trim recieved "Dress it" by automagic (cheaper)



Interior:



Scrub with Woolite mixture

Extract with shop vac

Dress trim with Dress It Right

Leather got Wolfegang leather conditioner ( I don't like this stuff that much).



Picture of the engine (I didn't detail it, just wiped 'er down with "Dress it right")

Befores:

Afters coming up!

I bet the owner was more than happy with your work! What kind of power does she make?

Right now, some nice triple digit ratings at the wheels. With the pulley coming up it will be about triple the boost, so it will be a bit more than that.

 

[vdog0531]

triple digits? i'd hope he has over a 100 horsepower to the wheels...

Lets say with his higher boost pulley, *edit* capable of close to quad digit numbers. Probably closer to 600 whp.

i'll believe it when i see dyno charts. i dont doubt that it can pull down that power, but with an sc and not a turbo set up, it would take lots and lots of work to get over a 1000whp

Lets say with his higher boost pulley, closer to the 4 digit range.

Umm...with just a Vortech sc?? You really believe that??? :sign

Sorry, I should clarify. After talking with the owner, he said that the blower with this engine combination is capable of 966hp. Appartently he'll be closer to 600 whp when he has the pulley on.
