I was tooling around on ebay and saw this. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/aw-cg...item=596124738 Is that one off? Do you guys know about blowers for your cars?

They have them for the 2.8, but they are made for the fieros. Which means $3000 for a kit and then you have custom fab some stuff. Not really worth it when you find that your still not that fast. YOu are much better off Turbo Charging with an INtercooler.

But with turbo charging, you gotta dig in to custom headers (which is BANK!) and much more tubing is involved. If you get one of those paxton self contained (meaning no oil lines to run and whatnot) centrifigal chargers, then all there is to fab is the bracket and two tubes. i think the major headache is gonna be riggin the chip up though...

A turbo charger is only $600... custom header kit... $200 other plumbin aroun another $200 in parts, custom chip about $150, computer from a Grand Prix with a 3.1 Turbo... $90 from AtuoZone.
Total in pats $1240, ofcourse this is just an estimate, but I have looked intot these parts before when I was considering a TPI turbocharged setup first. The computer price was wentioned in another post.
Then I guess about $800 worth of work from a good exhaust shop and you in business for just over $2000. MAkes more sense to me, plus if you ever want more boost you can just crank down the wastegate. If you route through an intercooler($400) then you can safely run 16PSI if your block can take it. What supercharge is running that much? Plus a turbo is much more efficient that a supercharger to.

Hang loose man. Hopefully this winter I will be working a kit out for you all. I will have 2 trim levels, one with intercooler one without. I am waiting for my online stuff to start working. I know its in its infantcy but check the page and see hwat you think. This is only after 3 hours of work, and I only have 1 suppliers stuff on there and not even everything! from them too!. I know you may say betrayer and what not cause I am selling import stuf.. but hell thats where the money is. Anyway here the link. If you do happen to know anyone looking for impoort stuff send 'em my way, faster I get going the faster I get the mini ram intake, the turbo kits, a "shiny" CAI intake setup and a few other things I have planned for the 60 deg motor. I do have springs and a few other suspension parts for the domestics,(CAMAROS, FIREBIRDS) I also have K&N, MSD though the discount is not that great, EiBach Springs GOOD DEALS THERE, NOS GOOD DEALS THERE TOO!. Rest is mostly import stuff...
