I'm currently building a '85 notchback. The engine is basically being built around the supercharger and horsepower that I'm looking for. I know so far that it will have a Level 20 408 block from D.S.S. and hopefully around 500 rwhp. Any suggestions on the supercharger? I've been told to go with one of the Pro-Chargers but which one? Any help will be a great help.
Novi 2000 builds a lot of power and hear less trouble with leaking units than a LeakCharger i mean Procharger. If you get a Procharger get one with remote oiling because I still hear bad things about the self contained unit.
Another vote for a Novi 2000 or YSI Vortech. As for as making 500 rwhp with a 408 you can build a mean N/A motor and come extremely close to that. Whats the rest of the engine going to consist of?Quote:

Those guys must have started their own Amish cult ;)
