WeebleWobble goes s/c
Hi I'm Brandon I have a 97 with a few tasteful modifications. I recently aquired a s/c kit and megasquirt. I figured I'd search around for s/c builds and here I am. I'm thinking about pistons, rods, head studs, engine rebuild kit and possibly a clutch for the next items on my purchase list.
My 97 current mods:
949 corrado brake kit
Tein coils
Exhaust cam mod
Hard top
Weapon r intake
High flow cat
4.77 differential

If you make a reasonable amount of torque (might be ok if sc is small) with the 4.77 you will spin your tires very easily, especially going up hill.
4.1 is a bit short for my car resulting in 3rd gear traction loss at highway speeds (worse going up hill) especially on imperfect road surfaces, just saying.

No point in building the motor if you're not going to upgrade the transmission or lots of track use. Or make sure you have a spare transmission.
Actually never mind, you'll never make enough torque to need a stronger transmission...
You will hate that 4.77 rear. I don't even like my 4.3.
Please sell that supercharger kit and buy a turbo kit. Small turbo you will have much much more fun and torque than SC.

I assumed you'd be shooting for more power since you're putting stronger pistons and rods in. No need for anything stronger than stock 1.8 stuff (any 1.8 diff will do) and the 5-speed will be fine at that power level.
