How fast can i afford. Willie Please Read.

Ok my goal is daily driver that runs mid-high 12's .

Heres what i have now

A bone stock 1988 Camaro 305 TBI

The engine has only 62,000 miles on it.

Ok, first i plan on headers and full exuast.

And then a supercharger. What kind of charger will fit my car. What other mods do i have to do to run it. How reliable is it. Will it kill my engine. How hard is it to tune. And will it fit under a stock hood.

Also is it bad to buy a used supercharger?

How much am i lookin at spendin on a charger.

And last will these mods get me into the 12's. Thanks A lot. Sorry for all the questions. Thanks A Lot. Bobby.

supercharger on a TBI is waste of money. 50% of nothing is still nothing. At best you would only be in the mid 200hp range and that is a long way from 12's. Your best bet is heads cam intake and exhaust and you might get it in the 14's. A little nos on that might get you in the 12's.
