Paxton s/c finally dead, what other s/c ?

Paxton finally died, I am actually happy, I HATED IT.

Anyhow what s/c will work? I see lots of vortec mustang chargers and stuff, but I'd like to keep the same position/bracket it is located on (Passenger side 3 belt running off crank)

What S/C would be a bolt on that would be the least trouble.

Cost is a factor, so I'd go used if I could...would like to have a s/c that goes atleast 10psi

Your Paxton just died?
How old was it, you should call them up and complain. Maybe they'll warrantee or rebuild or something.

Anyways, I've gone from TPI to carb, it would be the same as DFI to carb. Pull out your DFI harness. Pull new wire. And get ready for a much cleaner engine bay, and less headaches.
