There aren't any off the shelf supercharger kits for these cars anymore..The closest is called the eaton swap where you have to search out and buy items to make it fit..it can take a month opr over a year to find the parts depending on budget up front and how diligent you look. Quite a few members here have done it and have lists compiled of parts needed, It will cost in the $3500 to $4500 range plus install if needed and dyno tune. The rest of your list wakes up the car verynice and you may be satisfied with those.

Patience grasshopper. Put a post up in parts wanted and the s/c may come to you. Shoot mo's a pm and if your lucky Marty can pull a rabbit out of his hat.

IMHO if you have the dough for headers exhaust and a s/c maybe sell your ride and buy one done. There have been several popping up for sale lately:beer:

M suggestions for initial mods:

1. Performance tune from Mo's or Lidio
2. 4.10 gears
3. UD pulleys
4. CAI

Headers are nice, but on an NA car you'll be spending pretty big bucks for relatively minor HP, better putting the money toward an SC and then going with headers down the road.

if you want to supercharge in the near future do all but the underdrive pulleys
if not do all of it maybe even a torque convertor if you have the ability and or money

Good point, the UD pulleys will have to come off for an SC.

Reinhardt automotive sells a complete SC kit for a marauder.

There are mixed reviews about DR... so I tend to steer away. My vortech came from him , but I didn't buy it from him...but when I called him about it..I got the cold shoulder. Glad MO's was around to fill in the blanks that he didn't seem to want to share. I know some have great results with him..It's hit or miss it seems
