Default Supercharged 84

Hi guys, I have a 75% bone stock 84 corvette. the other 25% is the rebuilt engine. I still have the original crossfire injection. I wanna know if this set up can be supercharged? Yes? No? Go Home? This seems better and more cost effective than buying a larger or newer motor and changing out the intake and fuel pressure... etc. Any help or info on this would be great. Thank you.

Yes, it can be super charged. Anything CAN be. However, there is no kit for an '84 so you would have to fabricate everything yourself.

Pics here of one guy who did it.

^That would work if you convert the '84 accessory drive to '85-'91 sort of. After doing that work, you could mount/drive the blower, but you still need a solution for pressurizing the intake/TB's. Only way to do that w/CFI is to build a custom air box like Jonas did.
