Default Is it Possible to find S/C under 2,000??

Hey guys, I have a 331 that im about to be running, I was wondering if there was anyway to find a nice little 6psi supercharger for under 2,000 with the suff i need to get it runnin, I'm just curious b/c I'm not shure if i wont to run the 175 shot, I mean i will , but I just dont know which would be better for my car, I know she can handle the 175 shot easily with no problems, I just dont wont to get into any trouble with the law(I know it has to be shut off, but sometime cops can be asses around here). Any help would be appreciatted...

Well 2000 isnt really gonna get you anywhere, but if you want a blower, i hear Vortech has like an A-Trim or something like that (which runs at like 5 or 6 psi) for not even 3k

Thanks man, quick reply lol, Yeh I could probally fork up 3 grand for one, but im trying to stay cheap, dont need alot of psi. Just looking to see if there is any cheap, this way i might not need to run that 175 shot. Not shure if I should run it, if I'm just not shure if if im comfortable with runnign the nitrous yet b/c of me not knowing much about it and what it can do to my motor, I know its built for it but just not shure yet.

Thanks guys, Its for a 331, I know I wont be needing injectors and the fuel stuff, all i really need is the s/c with brackets and whatver else to get it right, have 30lb injectors, But that Summet kit is definetley what i probally will need to get. How much extra horses do yall think the 6psi could get out of that new 331 with 30lb'rs. Any good numbers? like could I expect more than 75 to the wheels with 6psi?

i don't know how many horses you would gain but if you wanted more psi you could just change the pulley right?

Very generally, you'll get 15hp per lb of boost, + or -.
