supercharger

I'd like tot supercharge my Camaro. I was wondering what the cheapest type would be. ( meaning I really don't want the charger to be worth more than the car. But that will probably be the case)

Re: supercharger

New superchargers cost $3000+. And nobody makes one for a Camaro TBI. I think its a pain to convert a truck TBI one, but I've never done it.

That won't be hard. Even the gas in the tank is worth more than the car.

Re: supercharger

The cheapest supercharger you could get new would probably be a Weiand 144, around $1860 I think. They make a kit for TBI'd trucks as mentioned, but also as mentioned, it might be difficult to adapt (and the kit's around $3800+). However, you might be able to just get the parts you'd need from the kit by browsing the service parts section of Weiand's parts catalog.
