Before you bolt on a supercharger onto your stock engine, make any mods you can so the supercharger won't be wasting it's time on a restrictive engine. Things like heads, cam, exhaust, throttle body, mass air flow and injectors. by the time you are done, you will be just as happy with those mods as you would with the supercharger, you will have spent the same amount of money, and the engine will last longer.

the engine is already done and loaded with all the right stuff, 347 stroker, kb pistons,aftermarket rods that have floating pins, high volume/pressure pump, motorsport alum gt40 x heads,ported big valves ect. cam is a comp 260h roller, motorsport
1.7 ratio roller rockers flowtech headers, weiand stealth manifold and a 600 holley. speed density fuel injection was a pita, so that wnet bye bye.
355 gears and a non overdrive tranny, 33x1250x15's with just a 2 1/2" lift kit. dont do much off road except for some surf fishing and getting back into remote areas for kayacking.
mainly used on highway pulling a trailer for my janitorial busness.
the supercharger would just be a new play thing, i only get about 8mpg so needless to say im not worried about fuel consumption, 1.40 gallon riight now and it seems to be falling again

well then, i would not get a cent. super, i would get a small positive displacement roots-type blower. the smallest i have heard of is a 144 cid blower. no bigger than a 6-71 should do you. install an air/fuel ratio monitor to make sure you don't melt the pistons, and set the timing accordingly. usually the more boost you have the less advanced your timing should be. also need to install smaller gapped plugs and lower heat range when you are running with a super or turbo.
