Supercharger?
I built my son an 80 Vette a couple of years ago with a 350 HO, Bowtie 700R4, 3:70's, new suspension, brakes, radiator, 17" Torq thrust Etc. Now considering a blower. Anybody have experience supercharging these engines?
Will the internals hold up to some boost?
Centrifugal I would guess is the only way to not have hood clearance issues
Is there a "brand" that is more user friendly (installation, tuning Etc.) than others?
The above or any other input appreciated.

Paxtons came as a optional accessory on numerous 50`s cars. Most notably were the 57 Birds and the Studebaker Golden Hawks. Several early Mustangs were supplied from the factory with Paxtons also. So, bolt one on and have fun.
