About to spend some $$$, need some advice
Im going to try to get this Whipple supercharger i found, guy bought it for a 350tbi s10 and never installed it [so its in brand new condition].
Its missing the bracket/tensioner, belt, air ducting/filter. I assume to have clearance im going to have to grab a cowl hood. I need to know what size belt I would need? Or should I just ask whipple about all the crud i need?
I was originally planning on going with the LT4 hotcam, but i heard its not really the greatest with a supercharger, so what cam would be a better option for my set up?
As for heads im going to just look around for when I good deal on a good set of heads comes up.

I really hope you get that working
Keep us updated with your progress. You think that would fit in a firebird with stock hood?

Yeah I might get the truck brackets and hope to god they fit. If i have to get some custom brackets and stuff I can imagine it will be very expensive.
I dont think it would fit on a stock hood, I plan on putting the air filter on top of the supercharger and that def wont fit with the stock hood. I might be ghetto and just cut the hood and have it all sticking out until I can get a cowl hood.

Why not use something like a carb hat and pull a hose to the front with a cone filter?
You will defenally have to post some detail pics when installed.

Does that camshaft look like itll work good in my application?
Says for a 2500 stall convertor which is what I plan on getting.
