What do you want to know about them?

In general, with no mods, expect about 140-160 to the wheels. With headers, head work, full exhaust and good tuning, expect 170-190 to the wheels.

For best MONEY to POWER ratio, you should stick with either Turbo's or Nitrous. Don't waste your time (or your money) on a supercharger.

aite, it's true that we have 140 hp, but in reality, some of that hp is lost. What random is probbly talking about is 140 hp at the wheels, where it really counts.

Stock is 120-125hp at the wheels MAX. If it's autotragic, the number is even less.

I perfer superchargers and really like the Eaton.
The CAPA in American costs:

5,995 Australian Dollars = 3289.16 US Dollars
1 AUD = 0.5486 USD
1 USD = 1.8227 AUD


Not that bad for a supercharger (of the centrifical type at that). Is it 100% bolt on to the American 2.0 Tib's?

Acutally most STOCK tibs that i've seen did anything from 95-105 bhp to the wheels, slushbox and 5-speed respectively, on a chassis dyno. 120-125 is more realistic for tibs with intake/header/exhaust mods.
