Well you would want to put in hi perf. valve train, clutch, flywheel, ignition , and all bolt ons to ensure safe boost conditions. About Superchargers and Turbochargers, lets talk about at 9psi, SC will start the boost at 9 psi right away. Turbo charger builds up pressure as the compressor wheel spools up and as the rpms build up.
High performance valvetrain? The JRSC was desinged for use with an internally stock engine. You would swap out the pulley and this turns the sc faster, thus creating more boost. If you are talking about power, given the same conditions, turbos will always make more power then sc because of the inherent drag that is produced from the engine having to turn the sc to make pressure. You are correct about the sc making the power immediately. That is the benefit that a sc has over a tc.
Dude-N-Lude, as long as you provide the proper amount of fuel and spark at all times, you won't have to make any changes to the engine to handle 9 psi. I wouldn't take it over 9 however.
9 psi w/ bolt ons would be in the 250 whp area. 9 intercooled psi with a turbo w/ a 3" exhaust would be nearing the 300 whp area with proper tuning on the H22 motor. Also ACT is THE name in clutches and are the choice of many dragsters sporting tons of power. You can't go wrong with a known winner.
gold- unfortunately the SS tranny is not capable of handling the amount of torque produced from the sc. You would have to purchase a Level 10 tranny kit and tq converter to handle the JRSC. The good part is that a SS Lude with the Level 10 tq conv. and the rebuild kit would be one fast motha!
