Yup. Thanks Sal, I left that one out.

Wouldn't you need a new underdrive pulley as well for the two belts?

Use a CSC or Turbo before that. But if someone could come up with a nice custom intercooler that fits bewteen a stock N/A manifold, and an M90/112/62 i'd like that

Yup. The crank pulley needs to be changed to handle both belts, and an idler needs to be added along with the alternator and PS pump relocation.

wow, sounds like a lot of expensive work for something that can be done better for cheaper. You mentioned L67s used forged rods and pistons, what stock psi does a L67 run at? I think he could run a supercharger at 6psi on cast internals and be fine?

Stock N/A should be able to take 6-8psi fine. nearly all conventional engines could.

harder part of super/turbocharging, is the PCM upgrades and fuel system.

With the 9.4 to 1 compression wouldn't you have to have an intercooler, or could you just drop the boost? For the cost of doing this wouldn't it be cheaper to get an L67 from a wrecker?

Much easier to drop it in from a wrecker. Isn't the L27 compression a lot lower then the L36 though?

But remember that the L67 comes with the HD version of the tranny... with supercharging it and all of the added strain on it, and your asking for a short tranny life

Gotta show love for the L27!!

So the L36 got a totally new head design, higher compression, and higher rev line, but only got 5 more ft/lb out of it? I know the Higher RPM and higher torque peak gave more HP....
