This web site has tons of information about superchargers. Just search. What do you have on your car now? What are your goals?

Do a search, why would you make a post without even trying to look anything up. Powerdyne is the best, should be about to get one used for about $800 and make around 600 rwhp with a stock engine on 7-9 psi.

h beams
KB hyper. pistons (domed....comp. may be too high)
explorer intake
1.6 RR
E cam (not a blower cam)
shorty headers
o/r X
30 lb inj.
75mm TB
CAI

heads are still kinda up in the air. as you can tell im not trying to make tremendous power out of this block. 350 to the wheels will be plenty for me.

im not trying to build another drag car. jus want to experiment with boost

Nothing wrong with asking a few questions now and then. Me personally I'm going with the Vortech 8-10psi kit with the SQ S-trim. The kit says it comes with everything you need to bolt on a stock block and run it. Comes with an external pump and a FMU that jacks the fuel pressure up and also an ignition retard. Good solid kit from what Ive seen and read on here. V4FA218-040SQ thats the part number.
They also have the same basic kit for starters thats a bit cheaper. That kit is the 5-6psi kit and it doesn't include the pump, or ignition retard, which they say you don't need for that kit. All of vortech kits should be bolt on if you follow their spec page. If you have a modded motor then you need to get it tuned/make upgrades accordingly.
Superchargers4less.com and superchargersonline.com are good places to get these kits. The kit I'm getting Is about 2700 bucks with the lower end kit being I think 1900 bucks. You can go to summitracing.com and look up those kits and that website has the full detailed instructions on installation so you can get an idea of what you're getting yourself into. Hope this helped, and good luck man.

Run 1.7RR and stick with ATI,paxton/vortech...not a fan of powedyne.

See my thread on the leaf blower bolt on. Cheapest blown application ever! LOL!

dresmnkaos - You are headed in the right direction.

Forums would be very boring if everyone searched and got the answer, and if everyone searched and did not ask questions to get answers, there would be nothing to search for later.

It is just a cycle...

Good Luck

By the way, I do not recommend a Powerdyne system.

Sounds like you'll want a novi 1000, or a S trim. The lower model prochargers generally aren't to dependable, everything else they make is fantastic. I'd suggest getting a tune and 42's matched with a pmas meter, FMU's are junk.
