supercharger... just more air, or , air and gas.
I have been thinking a lot today, and am confused. when you supercharge your car, it forces the air in... does the ecu automatically adjust the fuel up and allow more fuel to enter, or, does the maf only measure volume not quantity, and the gas is the same, just a lot more air. sorry if this is dumb, but custom s/c is soon to see my maxima, and this is a critical unkown in my quest for s/c knowledge haha,, thanks.

The MAF will read the air but the fuel system still needs some help with the FMU that increases the FP a certain psi per lb of boost. Even the basic Vortech has the FMU(6:1 ratio).
Basic formula... you need both more air AND fuel to make power.

lol, i talked to iansw about this yesterday on msn messenger and he was telling me how the supercharger is like one STRONG AND FAST cold air intake, all it does is bring in air into transmission but it brings in EVEN COLDER AIR and MUCH MORE condensed air than a regular CAI, thus leading to more going into trans at one time, thus leading to faster throttle and all...torque is ridiculous....i was wondering if it was possible to make our own SC...hmmm....i'll shake whoever's hand on this board that can make a homemade SC

I never said anything about the air being colder, first of all. I was talking about how I have a CAI on my SC that makes the air colder FOR THE SC. The SC itself is in no way like a CAI.
SC air is more likely HOTTER than regular uncompressed air. Air tends to heat when you compress it to 6-9PSI.
A CAI does not compress air at all, it just sucks in colder air, which tends to be a little bit denser (not compressed, just denser).
Geez.....
You're making me look bad.

I was talking about my VB Mod ealrier...maybe he got mixed up.

No wonder my clutch is slipping now!
big mix up....sorry guys
