The kit is already made for the Camaro, TA, Firechicken 3800'*. How hard would it be to adapt to ours? I found some pics on this site of installs in a FWD application, and it doesnt look that different from ours. (I can't find them now, I'm so ashamed).

Ok, The pic was here.

Sure. Some GP'* run it. But a Turbo would probably be simpler and cheaper.

But then again a CSC can have some of the benefits of both a Roots and a Turbo.....just depends on the way you wanna go, and how much you think your trans can take.

Why would a turbo be simpler and cheaper? With the SC you wouldn't have to mess with the exhaust, and it looks like turbo systems are around $5000, where this starts around $3100. http://www.superchargersonline.com/p...r=RK-010910503 Can you get turbo setups for cheaper than this, and if so, where? We would probably have to figure out a way to mount the SC, but the shaft should mount the same.

Alot of shops can do a custom turbo setup for cheaper than a kit. The CSC requires pulley and shaft work to drive it.

Tubo'* are more powerful as well. INTENSE has been working on a kit for a while now, and their turbo setup powers the fastest 3800 s2 on the planet If you check out clubgp you will find a lot of topics regarding turbo vs csc.

Merlin, does it say how much HP that turbo kit can add?
And what other mods you will need to do inorder to install the kit?

The superchargers I was looking at say anywhere from 60 to 285 HP depending on your engine setup, and what you want to pay for. I don't know much about the turbos, I'm just starting to look into that now.

You gotta remember though, your compression is quite high compared to a Series II SC engine ( 9.4:1 compared to 8.5:1).

Do you think there would be problems running a lot of boost in that engine?

This I do not know. It'* obvious that the more boost that you push, the sooner or easier that the engine will grenade. If a person firmed up the top end (rockers, springs, retainers, pushrods, maybe lifters) I think that 6-8 PSI should be safe enough.
