Camden Super Charger Q's?
Well if I can't find a t2 to buy, I might buy a Camden SS, I own right now an 88 in really bad shape, So thats why im lookin to buy a t2, and not just SS iit anyway.
But for a Camden SS, I noticed they have sizes, 7-9-12 inch.
J/w which one is best for a drag/weekend car?
and are these things as goof as they sound?

Yeah I know that, But it's just the fact of finding a t2 for a reasonable price.
176hp, but with only a 1mileage loss off my fuel milage,
i hear yah, thats a little low.
But its still better then stock, If I can't find t2 entire car for sale.
anyone with any good things from this ss kit?

I have a friend how has the 5 or 7 in on his FB. It isn't that great of a setup for the carbed 12A and I don't see it being that great for the 13B. He only has it because he got a good deal and because he wanted to be different. IMO the supercharger isn't a good way to go if you are trying to reach a HP goal or you want good aftermarket support for modifications. They are too many limitations to the SC that a turbo would easily overcome and it would probably be a lot cheaper. Just tryin to help. -Jeromy
And if you don't want your car right now because it's in bad shape, adding a SC on it isn't going to make it better. Your better off waiting for a good deal to pop up or getting a turbo engine to swap in it.

Most of the people on this forum are cheap and boost-happy. The Camden kit is not cheap and Roots type superchargers are designed only for LOW BOOST applications on gasoline engines. Since it sounds like you just want more power, I recommend a TII engine swap with a standalone EMS if you can't find a good used TII car. However, simply buying a TII car is still the best route IMO.

Yeah I hear you about buying to t2 car hole,
though i will have a frontmount ic, so its all good with the hood.
just the intstallation of it all might be a little overwhelming, and i have purchase new wiring harness, etc etc.
I saw greddy had a turbo Kit. for the rx7.
2,000$ not sure where i saw it, but would that work?

It is cheap for what you get, but not cheap to the average person on this forum.
Woohoo! You can always supercharge it later if you really want to. The important thing is that you now have all the good TII parts.
Not likely the fuel pump. First check for leaks in the intake system. It's most likely a connection, gasket or hose. If that doesn't work, check the AFM as per the FSM. It could also be a fuel issue if the car has been sitting for a while. You may want to start a new forum thread for help on this, as there are some professional mechanics on this forum, and I'm not one of them.
