TBI supercharger

I know someone brings this up every other week or so and i found this in the new summit cataloge (although it doesnt seem to be on their website yet) thought you might want to read about it.

part # vor-4gl218-01_sq
1990-1995 truck/suv 5.7L TBI
$3,742.95

kinda pricy if you ask me. someone who knows the engine codes would want to check that to see if its compatible. Im thinking it is but im really not sure. Im not looking at doing this but i know lots of people ask about so thought i'd share.

Hmmm... I think the accesory brackets on the trucks might be different. Might want to check. Other then that, with a cowl induction hood you could probably use it. Would need tuning and alot of other stuff, though. Got any pics of it? I saw some awhile back but I dont remember what it looks like.

Looks like dimension wise there might be some trouble with teh plastic pipe going to the tbi getting too close to the master cyl. in a 3rd gen. Probably also have to use different sized belts with a pass. bracket from an f-body. It looks like it could work. But 4 grand can buy alot of other stuff taht would get the same results.

would a holley 144csb for carb work as well on a 454 TB? $1700 add 100hp on stock 350 cid? seems the pulleys might be off about 1/2 inch due to adapter plate. pulley spacers? custom pulleys?

where the heck would the tbi go on that whipple? i think that must be for the newer trucks, not the older style with our same tbi system.
