And if it has I am sorry.

I am building a 305 for my 89. I am going to do the whole bit and I am considering adding a supercharger. What brand do you guys think is best and what style?

Come to think of it. What is the difference between a roots style and a centrifugal? This car is street driven every day to get me to work and school.

thanx for the help.

Roots style: Two large screws that tun opposite of each other at close tollerances to force air.

Centrifugal: Basically a belt driven turbocharger. uses a similar wheel and compressor housing.
