Oh yeah, this is kind of funny. I see guys around my town with window flags and I want a set just to be stupid. LOL. If somebody could make some, a black flag with the white olds logo, that would be kinda cool. Some of you with four doors could use them at shows or something. Just to be different. When I say window flag this is what I mean......

getting the magnuson m62 isn't the problem, you can get them all over the place. The hard part is the limited pieces, that actually make supercharger work on our motors....but if you are gonna go to the trouble of making custom pieces you should go turbo, or get a better supercharger than the maggies...

OK Kwhauck, ur the one that question was directed to anyways. U tell me what I should do supercharger wise. Which one, parts, and other stuff. All I want is 12lbs, maybe 15 at max.

so are you set on a supercharger then? no turbo? First off before were discuss superchargers you need to decide a power level, not a psi level, because with my new motor and supercharger I should make in HP at 5-8psi what took my old setup 13-15psi to make

now as far as superchargers are concerned

ease of installation and money wise, it's best to hope that one of the 18 limited kits comes back up for sale, and you can have the 12-15 psi with those kits, but at that level you are fighting both your tranny and heat soak

now 12-15psi wasn't enough for me, that is why I switched to a whipple which with custom fabrications is the best supercharger to go with, some have argued rotrex, but i'd stick with whipple because they are readily available and if you keep your eyes open can snag one up for a decent price, i paid $1000 for mine with 0 miles on the rebuild


sorry i'm in the middle of something so my answers are kind of rushed, but take a look at this first and get back to me and then i'll have more time to think and discuss......
