SuperCharged TPI ?'s
Does anyone know where to get a paxton supercharger for a 87 Iroc wit TPI. Also what is the power limit when building an engine using the stock 350 TPI engine block. Is TPI ok for a supercharged 383 stroker TPI engine..

Forget about Paxton. I would suggest getting either a Vortech super charger kit or a Procharger kit. The Procharger is what I would reccomend since it comes with an intercooler. My brother had P1SC model on his 95 T/A and it s a good kit.

I'm not saying Paxtons are junk they work well. You can get good performance out of the Paxtons, your a good example. But if your gonna spend the money why not get something better that will last in the long haul.

You're the guy I've been looking for. I have a 91' 305TPI that runs very well that I want to supercharge until its time to replace with a 350. So you say ProCharger would be your suggestion for the best application for my vehicle???

Kind of related:
A friend of mine was saying that the procharger was harder on the engine than any other systems. He said that since it made more boost, it was harder on the engine while street driving.
