It increases the hp/torque of the engine by increasing its (VE)volumetric efficiency. It does this by force air/fuel into the engine under great than atmospheric pressure(boost). Boost is Absolute pressure(coming out of the supercharger-atmospheric pressure(14.7psi aprox.) Absolute pressure/atmospheric = P/R Theoretically how many times more air the engine is seeing.
An example:
a 302 v8 that normally has a V.E. of 80% = only 241cuin. of the engine is filling per complete cycle. BUT with a supercharger running at 7.5PSI (boost) 1.5p/r =361cuin is consuming/ 50% more= a possible 50% increase in power. I say possible/theoretical because compressing air heats it, causing a reducing the increased amount. air to intercoolers and alcohol injection can get it close(90%) to the potential output, only air/water with ice can get at or above the estimate. So a 300hp 302 with a 7.5psi intercooled kit should get close to 450hp, probably 435hp is more likely, for a 135-150hp increase.

What GTP means in Pontiac?
means the car has a supercharger
What is a electric supercharger?
An electric supercharger is essentially an electric motor run off a car's alternator driving a high speed fan which attempts to force more air into a car's air intake. The idea is the same as a turbocharger or supercharger, the more air and fuel forced into the combustion chamber the more power that will be developed by the engine. The only difference between a turbocharger or supercharger and the electric supercharger is that the electric supercharger is limited by how much power the car's battery and alternator can supply whereas a turbocharger and supercharger is limited by the amount of power the engine can supply which is significantly greater in comparison.
Whining noise when excelerating grand prix gtp?
This car is equipped with a Supercharger. All superchargers whine. This is normal and is inherently something you live with when you drive a car equipped with a supercharger.
How much does a stock size e supercharger add to your bhp on a stock normal car?
depending on the size of the supercharger.. 30% to 40%
What kind of car does Spencer Andersons have?
yourdick supercharger v8 1400whp
Can you put a supercharger and a turbocharger on a car?
You can but its very tricky unless you are a mechanic!
How do you install a supercharger on a fuel injected car?
First you have to find a supercharger designed for your specific application. You take the old intake manifold off and install the supercharger. While somehow finding a belt that connects from the supercharger to the camshaft. Then reprogram the computer that controls the engine for the additional airflow.
Can a turbocharger and supercharger be used at the same time?
Yes. If the engine is built to handle enough boost. Volkswagen makes a production car with a twincharger (supercharger and turbocharger). The supercharger helps cancel out the turbo lag at low rpms
What are the uses for a Eaton Supercharger?
The Eaton Supercharger is used to increase the overall torque power and driving ability. This also increases the economic benefits as the use of a supercharger leads to small cylinder tanks which is a good thing for your car.
Can you put a v8 supercharger on a 4 cylinder car?
no...... you tear the engine up
What is the difference between a supercharger and a turbocharger in a car?
a supercharger is run by belt,turbocharger is run by ex. gases.supercharger is better ........actually it depends on the motor and what kind of turbo/supercharger you put on it,so neither is technically better than the other
