Whipple Supercharger setup ???

Whipple Supercharger setup ???
I just bought a decent 90 vert' with 115,000 on the clock. It has a B series transmission in it. The body is pretty good. Only 3 quarter size dents and 99% rust free. The driver side window doesn't work and the top is trashed. It leaks like hell. It has a RB header and custom exhaust. The paint................ well what paint. Its faded to hell. Anyway the car is in Melbourne right now and I will drive it home to St. Louis this december. Until then I m going to park it under a cover. Anyway I have researched supercharger setups on here and everyone seams to give up or get shitty results. I am basically going to get a T2 block and SP it, throw in the T2 tranny and rearend while I am at it. Now I don't have much experience in the 2nd world but could you put a Jaytech manifold on. Such as this one:

Then put on the whipple supercharger. Then put this ontop of the blower:

Then just throw a filter on top and hopefully it will clear the hood.
I will be running a methanol injection system on it just like my FD so I will be running a decent amount of boost. I won't be kidding around here with 5-8 psi of boost. Definately turning it up to 1 bar or so. Also going to spray it with a good hit. So anyway is this intake/blower setup possible of am I dreaming here???
Thanks,
Phil

I think it is possible, but you will probably need to have a custom manifold made to mate the supercharger discharge to the throttle body. You may luck out and find an existing manifold that will work, but it may be easier to just make one rather than spending months searching for something that will work.

I've used what is now the W200AX on a '89 vert a while back. Honestly, it was a waste of money. Sure it had a flat torque curve but for 1/4th the cost it would've been a lot better off turbo.

Well seeing as how much this is going to cost I am ditching the idea. I could get way more power out of a turbo setup for wayyyyyyyy less $$$. Anyway I will proly just do a half-bridge setup just like my FD. I have searched for some badass ITB setups and haven't had any luck. I am not trying to make this thing a beast like my FD. I just want a good cruiser with some power. Anyway anyone know of any good ITB setups?

Try these websites for th ITBs. www.efihardware.com or www.fuji-racing.com. I got this info from this thread https://www.rx7club.com/1st-generation-specific-1979-1985-18/fuji-racing-itbs-finally-d-683967/. It has to do with first gens but it is relevent info with some other links to websites. Just trying to help. -Jeromy
