Supercharger help!
Does anybody know if Edelbrock makes a supercharger for a carbureted 302? If not...does anybody have any suggestions as to what company makes a good one to put on that 302? How much trouble would it be to supercharge the motor anyhow?

Edelbrock doesn't but if you can get ahold of a Summit mag there's a roots type blower in there, about 2,500.
Summit
Also BDS makes a r.t blower for the 302 as well

you can get a cetrifugal type but need the propper supplys to make it feed into the carb.

Paxton showed off a new Novi 1000 for carburetor use. Should be able to check it out on their website. a ROOTS blower has 2 lobes that mesh and push the air into the engine and run at fairly low rpms around 10,000 -14,000. Centrifugal supercharges use a wheel, fairly small in diameter, with blades and run at very high rpms 40,000 and up. This requires a wheel (impeller) that is efficient at high "hang on" when the rpm's rise.
