superchargers!

Hi guys, I have a question for you. I`m saving to get a crate motor for my `91 Z28 350cu.(383cu.) I am also thinking about a supercharger. I don`t want a centrifugal type, hopefully one that will sit in place of the tpi set up. I want to keep the fuel injection
set up. Can you suggest one for me and the type of inlet. I`ve been looking on ebay and wondered if any of the ford chargers could be modified to work.

What kind of power goals are you looking for? For simplicity, I'd go with a centrifugal to keep the FI. Holley and Weiand make some small roots blowers that would work great for a 350. I think you could even mate one with a Holley/Edelbrock TBI system. Run a search on the boards; you'd be amazed what you can find.

you can make 400rwhp for cheaper going with good heads/cam combo then it would be to put an injected roots blower on it.
