Air pump supercharger alternative
Just one last thing; I'm told there is a SMALL Supercharger unit that can be sat where the AIR pump lives...This would be a MUCH more fun alternative to ANY other suggestions!

:confused:
any supercharger the size of the air pump would be useless. maybe it would work on a motorcycle, not a 350.
I have seen some that were built for VW's. my buddy was talking to them about it. The fed him a bunch of BS. saying it would fit there as well.
They were suppoe to have a system that was a small pump that would drive a hydrolic system to a remote blower that could be mounted where it would fit. I believe I saw something like it mounted on a pickup at the turbo show. never read anything about it since that 3 -4 years ago. must not work to well.

Re: Air pump supercharger alternative (bill mcdonald)
I'm told they work; prob only about 3pounds boost and they'd have a small pulley to facillitate that. They're about AU$1000 and some don't need an intercooler.
I'll ask the guy who's installed them to try and post the data here.
