i was looking into boost a few years ago and my take of it is that i can build a t2 motor and get a turbo and standalone for about the same price as a s.c and all the parts needed to make it work... on my same motor... so i went the turbo route. i think when i was doing the math it was about 3500-4000 for all the stuff on a atkins (camden) kit

Twigg- I live in Orlando and I have the camden supercharger but only the 5" because when I bought mine it was the only one you could buy. My car is in their gallery. What are you putting it in and are you running a carb? Installation is a snap and good instructions.

A turbo blow through on a weber is pretty much a cheapest power result ratio to make if you make your bonnet and can get a cheapo s4 or s5 turbo and wield the flange and bolt it up to your 12a or 13b, whatever you are using. There are a few things missing, like fuel system, but you'll need a lot of fuel! 
My turbo car is NOT slow and wasn't over $1000 to make work. Runs 14's all day(ran a 14.13 for a best for my first time at the track), but is capible of much more with the boost raised over 7psi and slicks would EASILY make it a mid 13's car.

Guys - he didn't ask whether he should go turbo. He stated he was going SC and asked what was involved
We should have one thread for turbo vs SC and it shouldn't be clickable at all. Just both camps yelling at each other ad nauseum

Your smartest move if your getting a Supercharged system....get it from Atkins only "camden all the way"....trust me...I have one in my car from them....
It's not all about the money with them....it's about the Love and effort that they put into their products....very honest people.....
Once a supercharger always a supercharger....

Thats why you need to call Dan Atkins. /\ /\ he posted his number above!! His parents own the company that you would be buying the supercharger from!!
I think he could pretty much tell ya what you would need.

Twigg- You can break any tranny or rear end but I have had the Atkins supercharger on my car for three years and have NOT broken anything and I also live in Orlando. I have bought a 88 turbo tranny to install because I've heard such bad things about my smooth case 79 5spd but then I do not slam gears. I have had good luck with my supercharger and if you want to look at mine just PM. Atkins always answered my questions no matter how dumb and it must be hard to work when people call all the time but I always got timely responces.
