Engine & DrivetrainDiscussions about the engine and drivetrain of your vehicle.
This is a discussion thread titled "Getting more power after the supercharger ?", within the Engine & Drivetrain forum, part of the Technical & Vehicle Assistance Forums category.
Got my truck dynoed. Have the paper results (292.9 HP at the wheels). Was wondering how I could tune my engine more. The dyno showed the air/fuel mixture to be extra rich and the transmission didn't shift fast or early enough to avoid hitting the rev limiter in first gear. The guy at the shop said to get an air intake, ECU, and maybe use a electric fan (smaller pulley for the supercharger too??). Do any air intakes, ECU, Chips work my my supercharger?? If so which products should I look at. Are there anymore upgrades that give me more HP without destroying the engine (Nitrous NOT WANTED).

overdrive pulley, unichip. i believe performance center of nashua is going to be getting overdrive pulleys made on a case by case custom basis. they are also going to become a unichip dealer when the pnp units are complet. these two things will give you all the go you need.

You could always go to je pistons and get yourself a nice set of custom made pistons and then hone out your intake manifold.
Intake maifold and throttle body can handle upto 600hp before modding is required, why bother?

what would aftermarket pistons do? If you mean some kind of compression chainging pistons i see your point.
Nobody stands with me on my thoughts, but if you want more power, pull out the crankshaft, take it to a machine shop and get yourself a stroker. Bolt on all the BS filters and intake tubes you want, power lies in the CI's!
Thanks for the help with the pulley and chip, Ron. How about a hypertex, is it in the future?? Also can a Aem (or k&N) air intake help the air fuel mixture to the more lean side and is it safe (not to lean). The stock intake is restricted! Any tuner's in PA or near PA inorder to get my truck tuned???
Thanks

from what I understand, the supecharger is designed for using a stock air box. Allowing more air will give more fuel, the trucks computer will see more air and want to add more fuel.

Not entirely true. The toy dealership by my house has an inhouse performance shop. They recomend putting a K&N style intake on. The only thing is it whines wicked loud and annoyingly. I test drove one there and the thing never shuts up, something that definately would get old fast.

In the new issue of off road mag they put a s/c and headers on a tundra and say somthing about it being designed for optimum preformance with the stock air box.
Does anyone know a "tuner" for my tundra located near philadelphia?? I was looking to put a overdrive pulley (smaller pulley) to get around a 10 boost. Also have them install a piggy back ECU chip (unichip??), and maybe a electric fan (get off the main drive belt = more HP) and even a shift kit. All this and maybe more may need to be done inorder to tune my tundra [running very rich (air/fuel)] and lossing power.
Thanks
Dyno shows my tundra needs tuned badly!!!! Can anyone help????
