Default Supercharger

I am looking for a supercharger for a chevy 350 in my 92 RS. Any suggestions?

Rebuild the engine so it can handle it. Replace the rearend and transmission with beefier components. And cut a hole in the hood.

Does your 350 have a carburetor or is it fuel injected?

Ok, go without a hood then. That's how the cool guys do it!

I ran with no hood for about a week early this spring, right after my engine swap. While it may look cool on a 2nd Gen Camaro, it looks downright freaky on a 3rd. People would look over at me and stare, they didnt know if I was running the white trash indy 500 pace car or some super performance dragster....

Hey jacobsen, how serious are you about this? Jegs has a bolt on 125hp blower (plugs right onto carb/fi unit) for about 2 grand....but as stated, you will have to beef up your entire engine. You slap this thing on a stock motor and you will have a grenade waiting to go off.....

I did actually research some of those electric blowers that are all over ebay. (figured it couldnt hurt to look) The general consensus is they suck....make no difference whatsoever. Purely a ricer visual thing.

Forced induction isn't the way to go on a 3rd gen, unless you're serious about it and have the money to do A LOT of modifications. A good set of heads, a free flowing exhaust, and a nice cam is enough to bring that 350 alive.
