The diferences between N/A and S/C
Discussion
What are the differences in performance between the 6.0l vxr supercharged monaro and the N/A monaro ?
Does the 0-60 drop by much , is 6th gear more usable ?(i used to have a monaro cv8 and 6th gear was a waste of time at 70mph)
Any views would be appreciated

stock na is about 320-360rwhp probably slightly less in torque numbers
SC is about 430-500rwhp with torque numbers slightly more.
That probably means 5th and 6th are more usable in the forced induction setup.
Or you can swap diff gears to 3.91 or similar to make it useable in stock NA setup, which is cheaper

In answer to your first question - Big!
As suggested, if you dont go supercharged, i would recommend a 3.9:1 diff. Sub 100mph this (with a map and exhaust) will give you a quick car, though would lose out at higher speeds. This is what i ran in my ute once the turbo came off (well, with the equivalent of a performance pac as well). A good all round set up. Also makes 6th much more sensible.
Having swapped to a Maggie 112 supercharger, I was initially disappointed (470 bhp & 500ft lb). Mark at Rapid GB fettled it (522bhp & 550ft lb). The difference is incredible, and far more than the figures themselves would appear. It now overwhelms the tyres, majority of the torque comes in at 2500revs. My 14 year old only had one comment - "Sounds like 'Clucking Bell"!
Can't give you times etc, but now really is a supercar (Is that why I need new tyres???)

There's 2 answers to your question,
One from 1000rpm in 6th gear it will pull hard as the revs move up and 2. you would kill anyone who tried to take the supercharger off.
And like monkfish say's a dirrerent diff ratio will give you even torque but may limit your top speed to around 150mph.
I love the sound of my SC lol

ESSEXHSV did you get your charger from WPUK preowned? out of interest what did it cost you? roughly message if you want, or if you dont want to tell md tell me to f$%k off
