6-71 type supercharger for TBI. Is this feasible?

Hey Folks.

I'm a first time poster with a bone stock '92 RS. I would like to do something kind of on the original side with the induction system. I have always loved the look of things like 6-71 style superchargers and tri-power and stuff. I was wondering if there is a way to stick a 6-71 style blower on the 350 I plan on putting in and use a TBI AND keep it emissions legal? How would I tune the thing? If I wanted to use a blower like that, would I have to go with carbs? Would the car still pass emissions if I reverted to carbs?

If that isn't possible, would there be any way of implementing a multiple TBI manifold setup? If so, any ideas on how to fine tune it?

Just curious. Thanks for the help

I don't know if it is possible to keep it emissions-leagal, but other than that ... why not. I think that it would work. If it works with a carb it should work with a TBI.

Holley makes a roots-style blower kit for tbi motors, although it's not the 6-71, but is the smaller blower. Sounds like it's just what you're looking for. You can check it out on their site. Price was $2900 at Summit last I checked.

I've seen dual tbi set ups on blowers using the holley projection tbi set up, so it's definitely possible, don't think you'd be able to use the stock computer though.

the holley roots kit for tbi motors(actually was a B&M unit but holley bought there blower division) is technically discontinued. you can not currently order it from any of the catalogs, but i called holley directly and asked about it and they will still sell it to the public. it si designed to make about 6psi on a 350(which eqwuates to about 7psi on a 305) and is supposed to deliver a 50-65% power increase in an other wise stock engine. it is completely emissions compliant and even has CARB(communist air resources board) approval.
my suggestion is to go to holley'
s site and look it up since they do still list it, just don't mention you intend to put it on a 305, they got a little uptight when i said that
it is actually something i am considerign for my next 305 build up

later
