Cool supercharger ?

Just bought a 88 gt with a built 93 cobra motor...Not sure how built.. He just said the previous owner set it up to be fast for some drag'n. Im trying to find a cheaper supercharger and run about 10lbs of boost...any help guys? I found this one but dont know if its a good deal... I can get everything for $1500

Thanks,
Mike

about 4 months ago there were new Powerdyne kits selling on e-bay for about 1800. They came with fuel pumps too.

yes, vortech makes a great sc. if you want more boost you can always put a larger crank pulley on the motor or a smaller pulley on the sc. id do the crank pulley first because the smaller the sc pulley, the easier it is to have belt slip

get a kenne bell if you want to play on the street

you have to turn a centrifugal a bit to get boost from it

my friends new paxton 1220sl starts boosting at about 3500 rpm.
