junk yard boost.

I'm thinking about boosting my 460. What size blower would work and then is more common? I've talked to a few people and they say the stock injectors and pumps can handle 4-6lbs. Would a turbo or a supercharge be the route to take? For tuning I'd have motprvation make me a custom chip. I'm looking to just do a junk yard setup using used turbo or super charger and if they need to be rebuilt I will. I'm just doing a fun project for something to do.

In most cases, if you can do the fab work yourself, a DIY turbo is easier than retrofitting a blower. Could also hide the turbo easier.
