Forced Induction Guide
Supercharger Benefits
- • Immediate throttle response
- • Linear power delivery
- • Works at all RPM ranges
- • Approximately 7% HP gain per PSI
Turbocharger Benefits
- • Higher efficiency potential
- • Uses exhaust energy
- • Better fuel economy when off boost
- • Can achieve higher boost levels
Safety Considerations
Forced induction requires larger fuel injectors or enriched carburetor jetting to maintain proper air/fuel ratios under boost.
High boost levels may require forged pistons, stronger connecting rods, and upgraded head gaskets to handle increased cylinder pressures.
How to Use
