Normally when you get a "KIT" it has everything in it. That is why they call it a kit. For any info from us you have to tell us what is in the kit for us to tell you what else you may need.

ORIGINAL: evilkal

Unless you mill off the whole top of the supercharger, you have to modify your cowl
Let me find you some pictures since you apparently invented these cars.

Here ya go genius http://www.fquick.com/merlin. It is in the car now, NOT MACHINED DOWN. Im not sure if you understand where the supercharger goes, it replaces the upper intake manifold, it doesnt go on top of it.

Im not sure but i think he might be talking about the rear section you have to mod to add the 180 degree bend from the SC to the TB.

Yes you can run a remote turbo kit on the V6 F-body since most of the major components are the same or can be mounted in the same place's its not a huge issue. The only real problem i can think of off the top of my head might be where the charge pipe enters the TB you might have to extend the pipe a few inches but im not sure. All and All it could be done very easy by any one with a little mechanical knowledge. You would also need to run low boost and tuning and fuel upgrades should probably be on the top of your list of things to do for safty and to get all you can out of the kit.

I swear so many people come on to this forum and start plans to make a v6 camaro supercharged or turbo and
98% never get started 1% fail 1% have the heart to finish the job and turn out with a impressive son of a *****

no offense man, but it sounds likeu really dont have the experience to do this. i know i dont either and thats why i wouldnt try this. get yourself an intake, headers, cat back, new cam, aluminum driveshaft from a z28, and a z28 rear end. im sure all of that will cost less than this supercharger would total and i would say that would get u somewhere around 250 to 270 hp. yeah it wouldnt be even close to as fast, but it would still be a very quick car and a lot of fun

What we have been saying all along. "NO ONE MAKES THE PARTS YOU NEED". If you want all the parts, you need to figure out what you needmade and make them yourself. There are no blue prints you have to use a tig welder a drill press and a hammer to make your parts.Trial and error. It is a huge undetaking and at best you will see 60 HP from it. This is not a project for a beginner. Its to tuff for beginners and to big a waste of time for people who know what they are doing. That why there are none around.

Oh and the reason no one makes the parts you need is BECAUSE ITS NOT WORTH IT.

Find a sucker to buy your superchager. Get a nice cold air intake and a Cat back exhaust and then if you feel brave put a set of headers on your car the super charge would need all that to work right any way. Then if you still want more add a cam and port and polish the heads. These are realistic upgrades.

For real man even if you super/turbo charge it your car wont be as fast as a stock v8 camaro and will cost you way more ohh not to mention the strain it will put on your stock internals and the fact that you seem to know very little about cars and think that all upgrades can be just slapped on I suggest you start with those few slap on parts then get someone to teach you about the bigger harder jobs such as cam,nos,turbo/super charger, head and valve work. but like I said before get a v8 then do your boltons then get someone to teach you about the hard stuff man
