Supercharged TBI 350

Im startin to plan the new motor to replace my Lo3. I would like to keep the whole TBI setup, emmissions and all, that way I can drive it daily in the summer even with the windows up. I have a stock bottom end with TRW forged pistons. Im gonna use some stock 76cc chambered heads, prolly with bigger valves and hardened exhaust seats. Id like to avoid any chip work, so Im thinking I should reuse the stock cam and add some roller rockers. I want to go with a centrifugal supercharger, have no idea what kind yet. My goal is high 11's in the 1/4, with slicks and a TH350. Can that setup work? Mabey Ill need a forged crank to run more boost to get into the 11's? Basicaly I want to put my TBI setup onto the 350 I have and add a supercharger. To me it sounds like it should work fine...

No chip work?

Your crazy to do major motor work, and use a stock top end.

If you get the whole tbi blower kit, you'd be alright. Lots of money though. And you'll only see 300fwhp.

And if you get that setup running well, you'll see 13's at best.

you should really design a blown motor from the ground up,might be better off selling what you have to help finance a project like that.
do you have to pass emissions where you are at now?if not i'd lose the computer!it's not a bad disconnect and the haynes manual actually has all the wiring diagrams to do it.all the gauges will still work.but i can't officially recommend this procedure.do it at your own risk

I would read this thread and PM these guys about your project. Boosting a TBI system is not just plug and play. It takes some special tuning and planning.
