time depends on a lot of things, how fast are you now? An A trim is good for about 70-80 hp easy depending on your boost level. Very good entry level blower for a daily driver. loved mine

Well the fox i plan on putting this one i dont have yet i plan on getting it this week. It has a mild cam and a few other things. I plan on puttin 3.73 in it and i got slicks. I wanna put this s/c on it and just curious what times i can look forward to.Also would it be a prob to run 100shot with it. I know most of the times you dont do s/c and nitrious but i figure since this isnt a big s/c that it might not be a problem.

also was wondering if i use the v1 a trim and later i wanted to switch could i use any s/c in the v1 family or would i have to redo the whole setup. Also i was told that the v2 family i guess would need a completely diff set up i dont know anything about that but just what someone said. Any truth to that. Let me know thanks

My old A-trim powered Notch managed to eke out some mid 13's.

yes you can use the s trim head unit and swap out for the a trim. But then you will need a bypass. I believe the a trim doesnt come with it. Nitrous, one step at a time. The nitrous also is a great cooling effect on a s/c just have a good tune and a/f mixed just right .

Well thats cool. This fox doesnt have heads but it has complete intake and stuff. I have some spare stuff. That i could add to give it a little more. That would be cool. What s/c would you guys recomend for when i do the 347 build. Im gonna use the dart block so no worrys on cracking. I just want to get the most that i can when i build that motor.

deep 12s on a mild setup with good traction. I would get the bypass setup even with an a trim.
