Supercharger

I have sorta been looking into buying a supercharger for my car??? The car is already extremely fast, it's a 350 block bored .30 over (355) and it's gotta scat crank, eagle alloy rods, ross racing pistons, the heads and the block where both shaved .20 and the vortec heads have been ported and polished, it has a custom grind cam made specialy by my engine builder (Robertson racing engines) it's running 42 lb injectors with SLP Runners and it has Fireball Hi-6 ignition and a Accel electronic supercoil with 8.8 wires and accel plugs. It is a very mean motor and behind a 5 speed it is very crazy (lol yea I chunked the tranny 2wice) but for me I can never go fast enough and I was wondering if anyone had any picks on the best supercharger out there for the money

A strong N/A engine is RARELY a good candidate for a bolt-on blower kit. What works for N/A isn't going to like being force-fed. Compression and cam are typically going to be all wrong for a blower. KA-BOOM is the usual result.

I would qualify your engine as a VERY well sorted out N/A combo. 410HP to the rear wheels through an upgraded TPI setup is, frankly, fantastic. Far beyond anything I've seen anyone put down with a comparable setup with my own 2 eyes. Don't mess with that unless you contact the engine builder and let him know what you have planned. It would be a real shame to scatter a motor that's running that strong.

Is that RWHP?? because if it is, that thing has got to have some compression in it. I would think it is at the crankshaft by reading his combo.
