Superchargers for the 370Z?

Denny McLain

Immediately below is the dyno sheet showing bone stock vs bolt-ons on my LT4 Corvette. The car ran a 12.72 on factory tires and gears. On the next run it ran a 8.19 1/8th which was quicker but in power shifting 4th gear, I broke the syncro. It would easily have run a 12.6 or even a high 12.5 had I not broken the gear. This was the only track session (total of 5 runs) with the car in this configuration and I was in a learning curve as to what the car liked and how to drive it.

After 3 blocks, 4 sets of heads, 7-8 camshafts, 3 sets of headers, three intakes and literally 100's of dyno pulls the car ran a 10.82 on M/T slicks. Here's the dyno sheet. Remember I'm a stickler on average hp within intended application and the car was capable of more peak hp, but when shifting at 7200 rpm the car made more overall power using this head/cam combination. The best N/A pull was 481 but I misplaced the dyno sheet. Best on Nitrous was over 700.
