Re: Where to buy a Supercharger?

I'm sure there are places in your area but I'm not from the area so I'll give you the 2 I'd goto (I received mine from the place in NJ and the RI shop I know pretty well, there both a procharger dealer).

Larocca's in Jersey
Cisco's in Rhode Island

I bought mine here from a member... still in box, polished and saved about $1k...

Also, these systems are for TPI but with serpentine belt system... you have a V belt... may have to change over and place of few accessories...

If you go low boost, you'll have to switch to FORD / Bosch (not Denso!) 24# injectors... The GM don't like pressure from the FMU... or buy correct injectors and let the computer take care of it... www.code59.org

Re: Where to buy a Supercharger?

The 24# injectors can go in the 5.7's with no computer tuning...
But I see you have 5.0 like me... It will need some minor tuning to use the FMU, cuz the 5.0's have 19# injectors, jumping to the 24's is too much to handle without reprogramming...

I plan to do this in a couple months...

It's the lesser expensive route than going the code59 way... I picked up some used 24 injectors for $65... The code59 route, I would need 42# injectors ($350) + Wideband 02 ($150) + 3bar map sensor $80 etc...

I plan to ditch the 305 someday, so when I get a 350 or 383, I'll go the proper route...

www.moates.net for programing stuff, look at the ostrich, or apu1.

Re: Where to buy a Supercharger?

How about a turbo would that be a cheaper way?

Re: Where to buy a Supercharger?

Depends on your skills...

Got none? Then no... Turbo Kits are not readily available for our cars, but I hear BBS Designs (search on this board) has some nice quality kits...

But it requires more tuning...

I went the supercharger route because the kit is complete with intercooler, etc... & my skill level is LOW when it comes to that sorta stuff
