    Believe me a supercharger puts a strain on the engine. You need to start with a low compression motor ect and you may or may not have it. There are guys on here running nitrous that can tell you the max to use and how to feed it. Check with Rick Crawford.

    they make s/cs for our engines

    If you have a high comp engine I wouldnt go no more then 4 to 5 psi to be "safe" but imho i still wouldnt chance it.

    Lucky you are in England- home of the world's highest quality nitrous supplier. Go to http://www.wizardsofnos.com/ and make a trip over to Doncaster. They will set you up with a nitrous system that will be very gentle on your engine and give you tons o' torque...

    in the http://xsperformance.net link the supercharger seems to be in the place where the p/s pump is, am i not seeing where they say about re-locating the p/s or does it have to be thrown by the side?

    Hard to beat the bang for the buck of nitrous. 400 HP is an easily and fairly inexpensive goal for a 350 SBB. When you need it it's there and when you want to drive in economy mode you can. S/C ers consume mass quantities of fuel 100% of the time, and work overtime on wear of the engine too. Safe amounts of N2O (150 hp kits or less) can be used on stock motors and are not too demanding when set up correctly.
