I have the powerdyne XB-1a supercharger:

considering a supercharger in the future...what kind of internal engine upgrades are needed to accept the new piece?

 

[96fleetwood]

The Powerdyne kit is a bolt on kit. I have bigger fuel injectors, headers, and a cat back exhaust. The engine was rebuilt before the supercharger install, but nothing was beefed up... 35K miles later it is still running :yesnod: I am getting ready to send the supercharger for a rebuild with upgraded parts.

if i were to do the roots style blower like this one.

what all would i have to do to my engine? i have a stroker kit in there already. and a mild cam.

what else would i have to do to do that set up

That blower at Jegs is for use with a carb. Are you planning on getting rid of your fuel injection?

A lot of what you can do is going to be based on what compression ratio you have now. If your already at 10 to 1, you can only blow about 6 pounds before getting in to fuel problems.

The easiest and cheapest route would be to buy a kit specific to your engine and it will include the extra injectors to add fuel to the extra air.

What year is your truck?

i have a 1996 vortec 5.7 if you can find any kits for me that would rock.

I have this kit, but I upgraded to the XB-1a model supercharger which makes 11-18 psi. I think that kit online comes with the BD-11a supercharger which makes 6-9 psi.

where would i have to relocate my alternator to? cus then i would have to run some more 0/1 gauge wire.

The powerdyne kit comes with a new bracket that drops the alternator ~4 to 6 inches, can't remember how much exactly.
