What? No Superchargers?

My searching has led me to believe that no one makes a bolt on supercharger kit for my '89 GTA (350) anymore??? Is this right?

Re: What? No Superchargers?

That is incorrect.. Paxton, Vortech, ATI Procharger and a few others all have S/C for TPI cars.. I would advoid the Paxton S/C as I haven't heard alot of good results from people that have used them. Vortech which is what I purchased doesn't have an intercooler kit, I had to convert mine and use an aftermarket intercooler.. ATI Procharger is a very good kit with everything built in. Kit's very in price according to what you are looking for. I have included a pic from my 87 before intercooler



and another after I put custom intercooler in

But are all those kits still available? I know Vortech doesn't list the kit on their site, although they may very well still off it. I haven't seen anyone with a "new" Paxton in a LONG time.

Re: What? No Superchargers?

933-4GF218-060SQ is the number for the Jegs High Performance Kit for the Vortech Kit.. You can either Google.com that number or go directly to Jegs.

For the Procharger.. For information on ATI goto

http://www.procharger.com

These are the 2 that are available for our cars

9,12 psi w/ P-1SC 60-80% 2 Core
15-20 psi w/ D-1 or D-1SC 85%+ 3 Core

Even though you can't buy directly from procharger. They have a link to enter your zipcode and it will give you local information of people that sell it.

Re: What? No Superchargers?

FYI - cheaper to buy a Procharger D1 than to convert a P1 to the larger impeller after the fact.

Re: What? No Superchargers?

I have a Procharger P1SC on a built 383. I am thinking of detuning the car so that would leave me with a Camaro ready supercharger, intercooler, piping, sleeves serpentine system, reverse flow water pump, custom cam, belts and clamps for sale. The brackets for the serpentine system and pipes are all smoothed / powdercoated. I have pulleys for 6, 8 and 10 pounds of boost. Running 8 pounds of boost I have 450 at the rear wheels with dyno sheets to prove it. Interested?
