130,000km to many miles for S/C?
Tuesday, June 26, 2007 12:12 PM
Just inquiring about boosting my 00 GT 2.4L. I dont have and oil leaks or burn any oil. I keep up on every oil change and all recommended maintenance and the car runs great.

The only issue I could for-see in the future would be needing a clutch job b/c I'm sure the stock clutch wouldnt last to long after boost is added. RIght now the clutch is fine, grabs tough and no problems. But can a stock Clutch handle the extra HP without slipping? I dont drag or run quarter mile so it would be mostly cruising boost.

Any tips would be appriciated.

What would the expected HP be for bolting it onto a stock motor? I have some mods. Check my registry for info. How much boost should a person expect from the S/C?

If this a true complete kit. Why would it say "accessory drive belt required for installation. " So after spending that much money you still need to buy a new belt?

my bad sorry i guess i just got confused. But can Any of the BOOST junkie answer my other question?

"The only issue I could for-see in the future would be needing a clutch job b/c I'm sure the stock clutch wouldnt last to long after boost is added. RIght now the clutch is fine, grabs tough and no problems. But can a stock Clutch handle the extra HP without slipping? I dont drag or run quarter mile so it would be mostly cruising boost or punching it while moving."
