Default i have become a little bored

So I have become a little bored with my 66. So i am thinking about putting a blower on it. I have a 347 which is 10:1. I think I can safely run 5 to 6lbs of boost and still be safe.
Im not sure if my t5 will hold up. It is a customer built one that i bought out of florida. I dont remember the builder.

im not sure if I want to go with a paxton or vortex type of a wieand 174 style.

Any suggestions? I do have a March performance pulley set that puts the a/c compressor on the lower passenger side below the alternator. Im not sure if I would have to change the accessory drive or not. Its okay if I do because I can move that drive over to mt bronco. (which would make me happy to get rid of the v belt squeel on it.

so if any of you guys are running either, please let me know you opinions.

I am also open to a 671 since i now have a big dent on my hood from a falling suit case.

But, i have a atomic efi rated to 600 hp which i think allows for boosted applications.
One last thing, I have an x303 cam so im not sure if that is optimal for a forced induction application

Well- if you go down this road you're not gonna be bored for long :-) Had to post, but no idea what to tell you because I've never run a supercharged car before. I'll learn from you.

are you looking for a screw type only or will a supercharger also be ok.

Your tuner better know what he's doing if you want it reliable. The margin of error gets smaller as your CR goes up when you add forced induction of any type.

Ford say the F303 is the ideal one for supercharging. Probably because of the shorter lift, less likely to float the valves if you over rev it.
