Default Supercharger dilemma

Currently am building a 600hp supercharged engine. The Chris^2 at Speeddemon have been a great help. This engine is going to be a 383 supercharged baby. In order to get the CFM I need, I was going to upgrade my unused Paxton sn92 supercharger with the better impeller to get me near the CFM I need to make 600hp. Unfortunately when I called paxton, they informed me they no longer support the SN series supercharger, and the impeller I want to get near 1200 cfm is not longer available.

So my dilemma is what to do with this 850cfm impellered supercharger. Should I mod it to make the power I need, or go out and buy the right supercharger? If so what make and model?

Is there any market for unused sn92 superchargers? Or should I try my luck on Ebay?

Thanks.

I might be interested in the SN92 if the price is right. Send me an email.

Buy the right supercharger!!!

I am working with Chris as well,
I would look at the Vortech S or T trim.
S trim should get you to enought air for ~680hp, the T will do about 825hp.

I am trying to decided between the T and the YS trims myself.
