Have 88 saleen with fresh short block hd oil pump and drive and double roller motorsport timing chain. has tfs twisted wedge heads and billet pushrods and harland 1.6 rockers. Ported gt40 lower intake and bennet racing upper breadbox intake.77 pound pro m calibrated for 24 pound injectors and 77 mm acufab throttle body and egr. Considering putting on a kenne belle blower/supercharger. Looks like it works different than a standard supercharger I think. Do you think that this motor setup can hold up to this type of add on. I was never really a fan of superchargers always liked to run on all motor, but car just is still not fast enough. Need opinions
Thanx

it depends on what type of rebuild it has. if its forged rods/pistons it'll hold fine but the power will put it just about if not over the limits of a stock block, so it would be a time bomb. if its all stock components it probly won't last for to long.

use what you got and force feed it, may need to upgrade injectors and fuel system depending on boost level
