Can I ask why you'll only use a supercharger as opposed to a turbo?

The 12A camden supercharger kit is supposed to put out 270 horsepower at the flywheel with 15psi (it's max), a holley 650 or bigger carburetor (i have a holley 715 if you want to buy it), and a street port. the 13b with the same setup puts out 300 hp at the flywheel

oh, by the way, Atkins rotary ( www.atkinsrotary )sells a camden kit, and they are cool. they will tell you how to jet the carb and set it up, free of charge. hard to find a place like that anymore.

Not to bash on any ones car but the reason I love S\C so much is because there different and if you think about it how many have turbos vs SuperChargers .

Dan took me for a ride last night, and that sure put an end to my turbo vs. supercharger debates. Supercharger all the way!

I too have been in a couple supercharged FBs. Quite impressive, and it's just a simple bolt-on.

so, that camden kit for the 12a would produce an average of how much hp? these custom turbo setups are making some nice *** numbers. and are half the price. like one person said; do the camdens come as a kit? with everything needed? if so then this could be an idea that hasnt crossed my mind yet .....




till NOW MUHUHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA! god i need to get fat.

Do the camden chargers "whine" like an 03 cobra or newer lightning with an upgraded pulley?


My friend has a very bad *** quick lightning.... and I love the way the supercharger sounds when its wound out

Yeah, the SCs tend to whine a bit. It sounds nice.
