Sorry, maybe this is stupid question: Seems as though you can get a OEM Eaton Cobra blower on ebay pretty cheap, as apposed to a Supercharger. Has anyone ever installed a cobra blower on a GT, is it possible without swapping heads, what all needs to be changed other than the intake?
Thanks for your advice

Call Krazy Koncepts. I think they have the set up you are looking for or at least they can tell you what is involved. http://www.krazykoncepts.com/pages/4/index.htm

So tell me, what is the difference between a blower and a supercharger?

Anything is possible with some creativity. I have a Lightning blower going on a 4.0 Ranger. I payed $300 for just the blower, its like the Cobra blower for the most part, just different air intake locations.

Make sure the bypass valve acuator is still on it, if its not, youll have one hell of a time tracking one down, trust me, I didnt have a good time.

It ended up working out ok, I bought a new actuator and tranny cooler off a guy on rangerpowersports for $100. Magnuson told me $80 for one, but I could never get ahold of that guy again. just out of curiousity, how much would you let one go for?

Also, how should we go about hooking it up? On the S281SC, theres a line (coming from the manifold, I assume) that plugs into the bottom inlet of the actuator, while the top opening is left open, could we do this same thing for ours? I know the Cobras have lines running into both openings. I know how they work, and I know there are different ways to set one up.

thanks Jon.
