I love mine, I actually have 3 s/cs different set ups if they are done right they are very nice. i can see 30mpg (no not all the time) and I have around 300 streetable hp, the thing I like the best is when i hit the pedal I have the power I don't have to wait for it. all my torque is down low in the power band. No I am not going to get into an argument with turbo guys over who makes more power if it is pure hp you want then go turbo. I have s/c, turbo, and NA cars I prefer to drive the s/c cars.
Now all of my s/c are roots type Camden units I have no experience with paxton units. Bottom line is they are not right for everyone and there aren't alot people that work on them or have them, there is only one company that makes a kit that I know of so there you have it. It is much easier to use the s/c on an older carb setup rather than a FI engine. nuff said

I was looking into some sort of forced induction for my built na 6port aswell. Would the camden 7" kit be worth it? What kind of power could one expect? How "streetable" would it be?

i dunno about this downlow power stuff, but my to4e made more power EVERYWHERE then my friends camden kit with fuel injection and a haltech, and my other friends 35r made more power EVERYWHERE than i did! and the supercharger set up has more money into it than i do!
the supercharger only made 180 wheel with a hp curve that was literally a straight line (you could put a ruler to it). my car made 360 in the same dyno. an n/a 2 rotor (which was still less money) put down 206 on the same dyno.
I fail to see the benefit on a high revving engine.

Superchargers provide great torque and response, excellent cruise (I can cruise my s/c bridgeport at under 2500 rpm, try that with a turbo bp) something even a BB turbo cannot do. However, the hp record for a 13b camden setup has been 211 hp. A 13b turbo done right can be streetable and see 350+ rwhp. Hard to beat the feel of the "rush of power" from a turbo. So I say, daily driver supercharger gets the nod, if you wanna win races than it's gotta be a premium turbo.

I don't think these engines make enough torque to make a supercharger worthwhile. I'd be willing to bet a significant amount of power goes into just driving the SC itself. A 6 port engine with the stock TII turbo will be plenty responsive at low RPMs, SCs are for V8s.

The worst part is that what makes a bridgeport run smooth down low is timing. Something that can't be done with a locked dizzy and forced induction. Really the only choice is EFI or at the very least, a standalone ignition controller.
