So, I'm thinking about a supercharger....

I don't know that it's a wise decision given that I can't even dial a carb in but I figured it's a good way to get rid of a bunch of money real quick. I was thinking of a turbo before but I figure that a supercharger (I'm thinking a Vortech) might be easier to plumb. I've got another 2.8 in the garage and I'm wanting to add a supercharger to it. My big plan is to do the heads as Jim has done to his, maybe do the 2.9 crank (sheesh, now that I read the other post maybe a 4.0 crank :) ), forged pistons to bring it in at 9.0 or 9.5 to 1and I'd also like to go with fuel injection. So, that should be enough to keep me going for a weekend or two eh? I'm wanting some advice as to what the best set up would be for engine management etc.
In the beginning I was thinking of converting my current set up (Holley carb) over to fuel injection with a management system in place that could be tuned to a supercharger later. Also, what about going with a coil pack set up rather than distributor? I know it's going to be a blast figuring out a pulley system but I imagine that that will be the least of my worries.
Anyhoo...any wisdom / advice greatly appreciated.
Have a great weekend,
Bryan

When the time comes, I can help with the engine management.

I design engine management systems for a living.

check these out, they are my designs.

If you need a full standalone distributorless ECU, coil modules ETC, I can get you a hell of a deal. I make systems to go to 4 bar of boost. Barometric compensation ETC.

Ahhh. Very nice. So you do the 034 stuff? I just sold my Coupe but was looking at getting their setup with the thicker headgasket and turbo a while back. They have some very nice stuff. I've heard nothing but praise for their systems. I'm already kicking myself for dumping the Coupe.
Since I'm technically illiterate I need to know what kind of info I need to give to you so that I will get this going in the right direction without too much backtracking.
Thanks,
Bryan
