As you will soon be told the best idea is to forget about it. Yes it can be done however the fabrication work is unreal not to mention that you cant just slap a blower on a naturally aspirated engine and expect it to actually last. This question about the super charger / turbo is asked atleast 3 times a week so expect the responses to not all be positive. The very bottom line is that its nearly impossible to get something like this to work unless your last name happens to be Foose then it'd still be a job.

Once apon a time ago there was a kit. Now 12 years later there is no kit. Powerdyne made one and I think there was one from whipple but those are long out of production due to lack of popularity. Good luck adapting the GTP SC to your engine, it can be done but it is a nightmare and the fab work is off the wall. You can get the same or better results with nitrous, pistons, cam and a good tune.

True . But maybe then the blower would be out the hood or something crazy like that? Then again that big block is needed to turn those big *** rims he uses on everything.

Hey OP you wanna try something fun try changing the plugs in the drive way , that will help you get the blower in perspective !

I just done mine last weekend and I dunno who said it here but all I could think while bleeding and between cussing was " this would be way easier with the engine out "

exactly. did my plugs and wires in 45 minutes. not that bad, and only one little scrap, and yea i have big hands. really isn't that hard.

try swapping injectors on a diesel or something if you want to complain.
