Forced-induction has been around a lot longer than ricers have, so I really don't see your point. What kind of senior project is this? Is the engine even going into a vehicle? If you have to ask this question I don't see how you're going to install a supercharger... Just because the engine has a force induction system, does not mean its "Rice". Be it Superchargers or Turbochargers everyone says "Ooh goin the ricer rout huh?" Im so sick of it. Bearclaw would probly back me up on this. His truck is not a ricer.

Are you sure you read my post right?  Thats not at all what I said.

ok it is a 1976 chevy 3/4 ton fleetside longbed pickup me and my dad have quite  a bit of automotive skills. im just wonderin who makes a decent supercharger. it still has stock ignition good ol Jacobs sucks at making ignitions but there is a Eldebrock carb on it, forget what it exactly is. but that pretty much it,

Get some sort of tunable ignition system. I have a MSD in my nasty old Capri, dual exaust twin turbo. Looks like, well pooh, but it will beat a mustang GT.

paxton supercharger is good and reliable

HAHAHAHAHA

funny you were jokeing right?  The Blower was MADE and moded for use in the performance world LONG AGO definatl ALOT longer than the "Ricers".  Now i could go into a LONG history of the Supercharger but lets not.  One word for yalets see ya call a Detroit 8V 91T two stroke diesel powered 1979 Peterbuilt a "Ricer" as most ALL two stroke diesels were Superchargerd (no performance added used simply for scavenging) and many of the later 92 series and some 71 and 53 seiries with a turbo mounted ontop of the blower.


Now back on topic althought a supersharger is cool i personally prefer the turbo as its basically FREE power (mechanically wise) as it uses wast gasses to power a compressor for your intake.  While a supper charger does the same only usein Engine power vea belt chain or gear.
Now superchargers have benifits as they have no lag time were as a turbo doen not become effective till later rpms.  Have ya considered trying a coustom turbo install it probly would not be all that hard as a 350 should handel aroud 7lbs of boost without to mutch grife so you could find a turbo of a used Banks kit for the Gm 6.2L Diesels that runs at the above boost and performes pretty good heck the exhuast system for it may even hook up for ya as the 6.2 and 350 have some similarities.

Now in the diesel side Turbos are STANDARD equipment as they not only offer the performance aspect but also ALOT better MPG and emmishions.  This is also the rason CAT has adopted the twin turbo setup on alot of there new engines to simply meet current emmishions standars with the boosted power out put as simply a bonus.
