supercharging ???'s w/in

i'm trying to piece together my ideas for my new motor, and would like to run the ati, if for no other reason that having a supercharger is cool. question is- could i use the ati in conjunction w/ a miniram II or a miniram, or should i stick to porting my stock pieces and changing injectors, etc? tia...

Shoot, if all you want is it to look like it has a blower I have a Paxton that you can bolt to the hood.

the supercharged whistle and the enormous power increase are...a mere plus!

Shoot, if you wanted a power increase as well, I guess you are going to have to get a belt & mounts & stuff to. hmmmm, bummer, I only have the blower.

The whipple will most definatly be simpler to mount to the hood, it has flat sides to it & wont keep rolling off. Just kiddin' 'round is all
