I just don't understand why you guys want to S/C a small v-6 in a car that was desgined to handle a v-8. A charger runs like 3 to 5k once you add in supporting mods right? For the same money you can pick up a tired 350, have it re-worked, and upgrade your trans. You'll end up with more hp and proally save a lil cash.

Dont feel alone brother! I'm broke as a convict myself, but how can you afford a S/C but not a V-8?

i found a used supercharger that can be retrofitted for a 2.8 from a private seller for 300 and the chip i was looking at is only 160 so i figure for around 500-550 i could do this and still keep my crankshaft intacted for the time being until i can get a bigger engine. because if i get a bigger engine i want something in the 4's like a 454 but then i would have to get a transmission to handle it and possible a heavier duty rear end so i think the first option is cheapest right now

Your gonna blow that thing to hell. But hey if you can do it for 500 bucks it's worth it if for nothing more than chits and giggles. Good luck

I install Manuson kits on camaros and they install very nice and look almost stock. they are very reliable and as far as tuning you can have them flash your computer or have custom tuning like we offer at the shop i work at.
