roots style supercharger

I am looking to possibly do a supercharger on my tbi setup but I am not sure which setup to go with. I like the roots style blowers and was looking at the b&m 144 but I am not sure if it will work with a tbi for various reasons. My main concern is the linkage for the throttle and tv cable, being that the tbi will sit much higher with the supercharger. I am curious if anyone has done a roots style setup with a tbi. I have the ebl so tuning shouldnt be that much of a problem. I am not sure of any other possible problems i would run into with a roots set up. Any insight would be great.

So no one has ever done a roots style supercharger on a tbi before? Well i may be the first one to do it then, and if i pick one up I will post pics of my install and finished product.

Re: roots style supercharger

A lot of guys have had success with the Whipple Charged TBI's, larger injectors and the right tune and you should be good to go. I believe there is a linkage relocation kit that either comes with the supercharger, or that you can buy seperately, and even if you have a hard time finding one, it shouldn't be too hard to fabricate one on your own....

Have you checked out Magnacharger??? They make some very nice stuff!!! They don't sell direct, but they sell to companies who put packages together for specific applications.. Might want to take a look, they have dealer links on their site.

Ok, new question. Will the B&M 144 work with a serpentine set up?
