Re^3: Yeah, but now you're leaving the world of reliable daily drivers...

Small displacement turbo motors are very different than large displacement V8 super charged motors. You would be much better served to go to some of the Mustang and Camaro sites to learn about the use of superchargers on 302s, 351s and 350s. Its VERY rare to see anybody over 14 PSI and they know all the cheap tricks too. I used to have a supercharged Mustang and watched other stangers blow gaskets all day long at 10 PSI without the right combination of parts. I got up to 14 PSI with no problems but I had A LOT of parts (including an MSD 6BTM and Timing Control system). My car was only two years old with about 30K on it and the stock ignition wasn't strong enough to handle it at the higher RPMs. With $15k in the motor, spending a couple hundred on the ignition is a wise investment (Vortech T-trim and it ran 11.5 at 130 on BFG street tires with no track changes other than turning the BTM knob and lowering the tire pressure - full street car at 3500 lbs, street driven every day and never lost to a turbo).
