Supercharging the convertible. What are your guys thoughts?

[robvas]

the twist of the chassis from the power due to the lack of the bracing from the solid roof caused side skirts to get cracked and damaged, like what happened to Throttle House here

Has there be another documented case of this happening?

Also, if you don't use the rear seat, hard to beat a rollbar in a convertible...

I put the Whipple, half shafts, drive shaft, Roush X pipe, open air intake boxes, wheels and drag radials, rear suspension lock out kit. Just ordered Kooks catless long tube headers. If you have a convertible the rear suspension lock out is unique to convertible so double check when ordering.

It's a six speed and the sweet spot is 40mph in second gear, but need to pay close attention to shifting as it comes on quick. Thank goodness for the rev limiter

what lockout kit did you get? Any NVH?

BMR
I had to send back the first as it was for the coupe not convertible. Installing this week so will let you know how it works out.

I vote for blower whine, beats blow off valves all day long. Add 50/50 water methanol injection to make it even louder.

I put the Steeda Subframe Alignment and Support kit on the back of my 24 GT Convertible PP over the winter. I have driven it about a month with it on and it has made a huge difference. It seems to make the rear end more compliant and confidence inspiring.

I also added the BMR front of the K-member brace (CB763) and the Steeda Extreme G-trac K-member brace two weeks ago. Cowl shake over bumps has almost disappeared. Now the front and rear of the car seem to be more compliant and stiffer. I also just added the Steeda convertible low-profile jacking rails a few nights ago. The car is really coming together. Now I think it is ready for some more power! Here are some pictures of the underbody. I want to find full 3'' exhaust that fits the convertible as well.

that is great to hear. Those are the mods I’m aiming for.
any NVH after the rear alignment kit?

No increase after the alignment kit. Just a little more sure footed.
