Please Look- I need some help

I'm in the process of building a FC drag car. Im going with a radical bridge port, cryo2, racingbeat headers, and a supercharger.

The problem i am having is finding an EFI Supercharger that is affordable. So what I am asking is if anybody has any vehicles in mind that come with an EFI Supercharger from the factory, that way i can search the junkyards for the parts.
Thank You.

Pontiac Grand Prix GTP (Buick Park Avenue Ultra), 03-04 Cobra Mustangs. There was also some Nissan truck that came with a supercharger. Mini Cooper S. There are many others, but I can't think of any right now. I believe all the vehicles listed above used Eaton roots style superchargers. I would also look into a twin screw supercharger from Autorotor. You may be able to purchase just the supercharger from Kenne Bell.

On a detroit supercharger 653 at 9000.00 eng rpm,s and 18000.oo supercharger rpm,s i only made 25 lbs. and i burned the bearings out!! if you really want to do this you need to check the flow rates and not the brand name. then the custom manafold, timeing as it will run hot air fuel octaine to prevent det. stand alone and tuning injecter location? I gave up and am going turbo im already running alchohal.

im on the verge of going turbo...i would go no2 but my fiancee is having problems with that decision. but yeh im looking for like 310hp on about 8psi but i need it cheap. im trying to fix safety problems at the moment...roll cage etc. Which im also having trouble finding stuff as cheap as i would like to, but it wouldnt be fun if it wasnt expensive lol. Yeh im a pretty driver especially on the strip and im planning on running BFGoodrich GForce Drag Radials. So what do you reccomend for the car or any pointers for me. I would greatly appreciate any advice from any of you, im just trying to get this car done to whoop some piston ***

you didnt say is it a n/a car now with stock diff. they wont take much abuse. its best to start out with a tll. even if you go na motor. you can run tll trannie with right counter weights. I dont like no2 on ported motors as you can have some overlap. and rattle motor real bad. some guys may know the set up but i dont. any way good luck. Charlie
