how much is it to get my 87 iroc comparable with a s/c

hi well i have a 87 iroc and well i cant find any superchargers for the earlier camaros and i heard paxton makes them but they often have problems and so on but u can convert the v-belt to make other superchargers comparable and how much is this to get this done at a shop? like can you please give me a estimate and also if i can i would like to keep air conditioning.

and i just have a 305 tpi engine in right now and well in the future i was going to get a 350 and add the tpi setup and was goin have a real nice stoplight king later after a higly modded 350tpi but a supercharger is around 5k and i was thinkin of adding that on my 305tpi and can you simpily say after i get the new 350tpi just put that same supercharger from the 305tpi on to the 350 or just simple changes to the supercharger? also how much is it to get a supercharger installed and the conversion to the new belt? and what is the best supercharger mostly for torque. sorry i dont know a whole lot about mechanics and just trying to fiqure this stuff out a bit lol THANK YOU!

also i have a non original transmission but i belive its still the same one thats originaly in the car just from another camaro and the engine runs strong everything is fine nothing wrong only 27k miles on the whole car
also does anyone have any tips on hand poishing the tpi plenium, intake runners, and other alluminum on the engine?

Have you looked into the Vortech Charger?

I wouldn't stick with a 2.73 gear, more like a 3.23 at least. The gear you have planned is about as slow as a retard with two broken legs! Avoid it, it's all I can say, avoid it.
