Sleeper's should not have power adders, i think it is more impressive without some big turbo or procharger hanging off the motor. JMO




w/o boost it's almost impossible to have a "sleeper"/driver. To do it N/A you'll need tons of cubic inches, very very expensive heads, a big bumpity bumb cam, big stall and tall gear. Boost eliminates the need for all of that.




technically, a "short" gear..."tall" gears are numerically low, like say 2.76 or 2.45. short gears are numerically high, like 4.11 or 4.88's...

and yep, nothing wrong with a boosted sleeper, as long as it's subtle (i.e. can't hear any supercharger whine during normal driving)....

to me a sleeper is a car that looks AND sounds stock/stockish on the outside, but is way, way faster than stock...
