Other than that I couldn't tell you, almost any one will work with some effort.

yea ,atkins has em , they seem really good i was debating gettin one , but i gotta figure out what car i will have your other option you might look at is a blow thru turbo i am debatin that or supercharging, plus i am only 10mins from atkins so i can go up there when ever i want. it would take you quite a while remembering from when i went to go look at your 79. (sorry i am on meds and just am typing)

Sweet jesus, they have a EFI kit. That is OUSTANDING, except I don't have a FC motor. I wonder how much work it would take to make it fit a GSL-SE.

BIG J MIXALOT,
Theres no place like home. Atkins Rotary has Camdensuperchargers. Ive had one on my car for about 4 years now. If you can make it to the Olympia meet this Monday then Id be more than happy to take ya for a ride.

In the 4 years Ive had my car, Ive just not been able to get it running right, Well!!! finally after so long and so much frustration, I replaced my carb to a Holley and wow what a night and day diff. If you do ever consider going supercharged, listen to what Atkins has to say and you would be all set.

Im even willing to race Dans ***.....now lol...come on Dan lets do it....

Anyways BIG J MIXALOT I know its a jot of a drive for you to attend the Olympia meet monday but its a great time we have. Kinda a drive for me too but well worth it.

If you have any questions feel free to instant message me or whatever...

yeah the camden superchargers really do kick ***. I might even take some money out of my savings for an FD. The question is, do I really wanna just supercharge a 86 6 port? Seems I could do better with a low compression turbo 4 port.

Actually the 6 ports do get a little better on HP....I was told only a very small fraction...where theres really no difference really. Don't mistake me but I think only 1% more. So really not noticable.

I was going to go 6 port cause of that, but went 4 port with turbo housings.

I think thats right huh dan. Thats what gary told me anyway when we were deciding on what engine to put in my car.

You coming out friday Hornbm??

79-80 S1
81-83 S2
84-85 S3
86-88 S4
89-91 S5
93-95 S6
96-98 S7
99-02 S8

I havent gotten the PM yet, I think the server is just slow. I'm gonna be at the KK around 9 ish.

I think the superchargers only run around 6.5 lbs of boost? is that right? If thats true, then I dont think using N/A rotors would be a problem, and you'd make some more power. Not sure how much though, might ask dan on this one.

i'd like to put my 2cents in. but i can't afford it.
anyways, i'm gonna have a supercharger fairly soon thats why i can't put 2cents in. gotta save. but i believe you can run 8psi and then some with different pulleys. hope to see some of you on monday in olympia.

I think the boost goes from 3 to 5 then to 7 and then 11.
Mine is only set at 5 right now. I have the pulleys for the boost at 3 and 5 but I think they were like $125 each or so. Ive also had to purchase a different belt for each of the pulleys. I am going to boost it one more time to 7.

It also depends on the size of the supercharger that you are getting.

At 5lbs right now I can take the car just like you did kettlman on that drive to the mountain... I couldnt do that before without this Holley.

After 7lbs put on the supercharger, I will really be needing to learn how to drive my car, before I do more. But you guys are so use to driving.
