RE: what supercharger to get?
I haven't been driving it a whole lot, she still runs well, got some 555R drag radials and that has really helped in the traction dept. The weather hasn't been so great.The roads are all sanded from the snow plows and that wreaks havoc on the paint and glass as that stuff is flippin up from everyone's tires. So she don't get driven much. Can't wait for warmer weather and clean roads!

general consensus is, keep
your rwhp to 450-475 tops and
don't exceed 10-12psi, unless
you have forged internals

so if i got the whipple with the 10 psi pulley and had about 500 rwhp and i got it tuned would it be ok???

I would start out with a car.
Then see what you want to do with it and what is your budget.
There are many guys running turbos at 550 RWHP without problems.
Lots of superchargers over 500 RWHP on stock bottom end.
The connecting rods are made of powdered doo-doo so they will be the first to fail.
There are two causes of these motors throwing rods usually:
over-revving and detonation. If you keep your RPMs under 6200 and use good high octane fuel the motor will last at higher power levels.
