Very interested for my 2006 4.8is
Any speculation as to what sort of 0-60 times the supercharger would yield for the 4.8is? I'd be especially interested in a Group Buy>
Thanks Bruce |

How well does the transmission, transfer case, torque converter, etc handle the added power of a supercharger? It seems to me the stock transmission is rated for a certain input HP/torque. Are most people installing a SC without modifying any other part of the drivetrain?

Any updates?
I continue to be interested in this for my 2006 4.8is. I plan to get in touch with Motor Works West to see if this is something they can do. I'd still like to get a sense as to the improvements in 0-60 that can be expected with the ESS SC. Will we be able to stay close to the almighty X5M?
Thanks. |

Not so fast, Mario!

On the other hand, the X5M produces 555hp and 501Nm torque... (good for a whopping 4.5 second leap to 60mph!) Impressive specs, yes! ...but the short answer is still NO; you will get spanked by an X5M!

Unless you change Headers and change diff ratios there is also option for you to throw out cats and put straight pipes, but I don't know about inspections.

Instead of upgrading the 4.8is with the ESS supercharger for 9k$, how much would a conversion to a whole different engine cost (perhaps the S70/2)?

Exponentially more. Entirely new powertrain, removing all the awd components, etc.
