I've only seen superchargers for TBI 2.8's, as for headers, they are no longer made for 2.8 F-bodies. They do come up at e-bay every once ina while though. You can get headers for 2.8 s-10 and MAKE them fit, though it'll probably cost ya. Search around and you'll find more stuff in the archives. Welcome aboard!

What you need to do is buy a unit sperate. Fab your own brackets and tubes, otherwise you are really tossing your money away. Dollar for dollar we can't overlook Nitrous. 475.00 for a kit that would add 50-75-90HP or you can go 75-90-100. Even with a super those gains are hard to get.

Plus with Nitrous you don't have driveability or computer issues or extra wear except for when you use it.

Hehe, we need to make a "permanent" topic at the top, or a message in BOLD: There are no headers, superchargers, or turbocharges commercially available for the 2.8 - fabricate your own.

That would kill 50% of the new messages tho, eh?

there is a message board at camarov6.com or v6camaro.com for forced induction (turbo, super). they r making a kit for the 3.8 and will adapt it for the 3.4 (probably in a few years tho). IF that does happen, the 3.4 kit should work on the mpfi 2.8 & 3.1. if u have a carbed v6, there is a roots type supercharger made by foegal (i probably mispelled that) for the 2.8. ull have to call them and ask bout avial and price.
