    Honestly, I would try finding a supercharger setup off of a 3.8 T-bird. Neat project and look forward to seeing more about it. - Matt

    I gave that some thought as well. Not sure if I'd have the hood clearance for a s/c but I can look into it. I'm not expert on turbos, S/Cs and stuff, but I always thought the turbo didn't hurt the mileage until you got on it but the supercharger has a constant drain. I was planning to look into a turbo first.

    Obviously, that's a laymans understanding and maybe I was misinformed. I've never been able to afford that stuff, so I know nothing about it.

    Thanks
