Default c3 supercharge questions..

I know that this isn't the C3 area but I thought it would be nice to get feedback and answers from tech and performance wizards from other corvette owners. Again, if the zoning laws are strict here on the forums about a c3 question in the c4 area, I apologize.

I have been thinking about putting a supercharger on my 1980 350 4spd vette. The car is very underpowered. My question is how much does the supercharger change the amount of emissions? Will it pass California emissions? Do you think I'M wasting my time putting a sprchgr on a c3?

This is the website of one that I have been looking at: http://www.vortechsuperchargers.com/..._carb_sys.html
Are there better units out there for a carb'd engine?
All feedback (good and bad) are welcome.

Thanks a lot

I do not know your answer, but I would call the folks there at vortech and ask them that? Can you get a supercharger with a CARB #? It would surprise me a great deal.
