Just bought a supercharger for my 1989 tpi305
Is this an ok deal for a supercharger?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...234039567&rd=1
I figured $750 for it was decent. It seems to be the easiest "bolt on" supercharger I could find cheaply. I am going to buy a refresh kit for it.
I know that the sn89 model only puts out 5-7 lbs of boost, which is fine with me.
How hard would it be to mount up a different supercharger to the existing paxton mounting bracket?
Are any of you running a paxton sn series currently. I've heard a lot of bad things about them, but I plan of not abusing it after installing it.

Yea, Id say thats a good deal. For the power it'll give you, its a good hp per dollar.

It's a shame they don't make those kits anymore according to their web site.

Problem solved, I have to use the bracket they gave me and rearrange the PS and alternator.
