Mostly a hypothetical question at this stage, as I'm just wondering

Standard Jackson Racing supercharger with AFPR doing fuelling and MSD doing timing. Uprated fuel pump. Everything else standard.

What's the cheapest/easiest route to more safe boost?


Thanks!

What about a DIY intercooler, assuming your fuel set up can supply enough fuel?

No point in an intercooler unless you can increase the boost and you don't want to do that unless you can control the fuel & timing more accurately.

The intercooler should negate the need to pull timing with a small increase in boost, shouldn't it?

Possibly but you'll still need to add more fuel. There is a reason why "dumb" systems like AFPR are only sold with basic low boost systems wink

Is this the simplest route to more power? (with a smaller pulley for more boost)
