OK heres the thing, i just purchased a 1980 completely restored supercharged FB with:
7 Camden Supercharger
Holley Carburetor
Holley Fuel Pump
Racing Beat Clutch & Lightweight Flywheel
ACT HD Pressure Plate
Banzai Racing Custom Fuel Kit
Custom Air Intake
Flex-a-Lite E-Fans
Carb Bonnet
MSD Ignition Coils
Banzai Racing Polyurethane Motor Mounts
4.444 Ring & Pinion Gears
PLX Wideband
FD chairs
I wanted to know what kind of power can i expect out of this and what can i add to increas power.
Things that ive noticed, its like 85% tuned, its running to rich and it idles at 2000rpms.
This Fb was put together at banzai rotary indiana.

Beautiful package! I hope you are premixing! First, you need to ditch that air filter, too restrictive. Next, get a wideband to dial the carb in. Determine what porting the engine has, exhaust setup, ignition, pulley #, amount of boost, etc etc. Unless it's a bridgeport it should idle under 1000. My 1/2 bridge could idle at 1200. Max, and I mean "MAX" hp you will see will be about 170rwhp ( I know, disappointing, a turbo provides sooo much more), it will make for an awesome daily driver compared to turbo though.

I did find the 2000rpm idling strange but the actual owner told me he couldnt get it to 1000rpm

did that car come from a member here? I could have sworn i have seen it here before but not too sure and for the idle 2000 is high my car idles at 750-900 rpm..... check your throttle cable it may be too tight. good luck man we have a few great members here that will help you on your car.

the pulleys all around are for a 10 rib... something went wrong with the pulley and the belt itself got rip ( the 10 rib) so, they order a new pulley for it and now i cant find myself a 10 rib. using a 6 rib at this time, but it makes this *Squeaks* noise i can't describe it only does it when i push it hard at first start up. but after a while of driving the car, it doesn't do it anymore.. what gives? cheap belt maybe?
what is wrong running on OMP?

The car was shipped here from Indiana and a year later the original owner couldnt figure out what was wrong with the carburator so he sold it, now the person who i bought it from fixed her up pretty good and got it to a 85% .
The 2000 RPM thing i know is a vacumm leak cause i already check the throthle cable and it wasnt that so ill be checking that today.
