Most people would use an intercooler. It is better to cool high pressured air. Pressure=heat. Every bend in the intake bluming =heat. But can you? Sure. I wouldnt wast the money on a cool air intake. Buy an intercooler

cold air intake on forced induction is a waste of money, superchargers and turbos heat the air as it forces it into the engine. Like nathan said, intercooler. Cool the air after the supercharger (if you can that is, some designs you just cant)

There are many things you can do to that engine without spending the money installing a supercharger. Just have to tweak the computer

hello, I am turning 17 soon and I'm researching and buying performance parts for my 2003 supercharged 3.3 L V6 Nissan Frontier and to my information from all the research I have done in past knowledge, you want Les bends in the intake pipe for more airflow, you want to preferably have a plastic intake pipe rather than a metal one so the Heat of the engine in the outside air does not heat up the pipe as much and giving as much cold air as possible, so if I use a plastic pipe , but one strong enough to withstand the air pressure of the air getting sucked into the supercharger and put the filter as far away from the engine as possible, will I be able to make Power with a cold air intake on my supercharged engine?

The way to make more power on a SC engine is to speed up the compressor. Look for smaller pulleys. You may blow it up but you will have fun doing it.

I have a 2016 V6 challenger SXT and I'm looking to install some performance parts. Like a cold air intake, a throttle body kit, Headers, turbos, supercharger kits. Whatever will make it a lot stronger and hella faster. What are the best brands to look at and how well do they work with other parts?

Don’t install a cold air intake bc you won’t get a hp increase, larger throttle bodies are only useful with boost, short headers for low rpm long headers for higher rpm, if you’re going to turbo/supercharge you’ll need new rods,pistons and a crank to make it last. Get a boost cam if you’re going to boost it and if you want to make all the horsepowers go with a v8 preferably an LS

And at that point you’ll also need to upgrade the transmission possibly even the driveshaft and axles, depending on hp goal you might also need to look at new fuel injectors along w a new pump or a boost a pump
