EDIT: So little was clear to me at the time of this post, including the Stage 3's supercharger's imminent availability expiration...

Or you could get a brand new Jet Technologies T-5 supercharger, EXACTLY like mine, from me
The T-5 is capable of flowing 1700+ CFM at up to 22 PSI!
Way more than you can ever use on a 202 CID engine, no matter how you try!
Regular pricing is $1850.00, and will be again after January ends.
You will then need a different crank pulley, price dependant on size.
Around $200.00 unless you want a huge stepped pulley.Like mine.
You will need a Z32 MAF and one of LANs chips.
You should lose the AC compressor.
I ran with AC installed for years but that limits you to 4 rib belts and you really need 6 rib belts for this size supercharger.
And one of my heavy duty aluminum SC mounts for $250.00
The elbows and aluminum tubing, heavy duty 3" truck radiator hose can be bought on E-Bay, or through me.
An intercooler is not necessary on a centrifugal unless you go higher than 8 psi on a regular (constant) basis.
The intercooler is not necessary because this type of supercharger flows MUCH cooler air than a positive displacement SC.
Pictures to follow.
Tom,
now a/the distributer for Jet Technologies Superchargers!


Please note that these are cash/check or money order prices.
More later.

Cruisen,

Youll need to revert to OBD1 (a duanting task) or go with a standalone setup, I'm sure YT will chime in here, he has a favorite standalone system.

I've heard nothing but good reviews about the new HKS Rotrex superchargers. I'd be curious to find out more about those, if made to work on our application. I do know they are pricey, but very efficient.

Wait for the Hydra standalone to come together. It'll be about $1700 from the looks of things. Until then, you'll be limited to whatever the stock MAF maxes at, ~250HP.

I'd like to do a centrifugal blower too, after a few other things get done.
