An automotive performance upgrade designed for specific General Motors vehicles, commonly from the fourth generation of Camaro and Firebird models, involves forced induction to increase engine power. This enhancement typically consists of a self-contained unit, brackets, belts, and necessary hardware to mount a compressor to the engine. The assembly forces more air into the engine cylinders than naturally aspirated, leading to significant horsepower and torque gains.
The application of this type of system offers a substantial increase in the vehicle’s performance capabilities. The increased power output provides improved acceleration and overall driving experience. Furthermore, these performance modifications are often sought after to restore the vehicles original horsepower after general wear and tear. Historically, enthusiasts have employed various methods to boost the output of these engines. Forced induction provides a relatively efficient and reliable approach to achieving desired power levels.
