Supercharger Buyers Poll
 
In the next two weeks I would like to collect a list of POTENTIAL SUPERCHARGER KIT BUYERS as an incentive to further move this deal along. Please PM me if you are interested at least with a name and general address: Like (T Vaught - Dearborn, Michigan)

Thanks

is this a roots type?
I'm looking for a smaller single roots type one

Tom Vaught 10-10-2007 08:13 PM

The Blower is a Centrifugal Blower. If you want a baby roots deal this is the wrong post for you.

Tom V.

ps

76 looks and all that I get is one guy asking about a baby roots deal. maybe the market really is not there for a Centrifugal Blower deal for a Pontiac just like it wasn't there for the 200X "GTOs" that Vortech made a kit for and no one wanted.

tom, how about a single turbo kit???? id be real interested in that.

Tom Vaught 10-10-2007 08:38 PM

I have about three years into the Centrifugal Kit for a Pontiac, I have no interest in even thinking about a Turbo Kit at this time.

Looks to me like it was a waste of my time.

I would gladly join the list Tom, but my current CR is 12:1.

what kind of money are we talking about hear ?

Tom, any idea if it will mount to a 2nd gen firebird? May be a larger market.

lemans411 10-10-2007 09:08 PM

i know i am interested pm being sent

Tom Vaught 10-10-2007 09:51 PM

Once you have the basic brackets to mount the supercharger/accessories then you can evaluate the other components that you might need to move on the car.

Brad Spidel has a Firebird with an F-2 Blower on it.
Brian (BadBird69) has a F-2 blower on his firebird.
Lee S. (CLS) has a Vortech XX blower on his firebird.
Obviously they did something right to get those blowers
on a F-Bird.

The GTO kit is developed. For the time being the F-Bird guys might have to use GTO parts and adapt as required.
may not be that big of a deal. I do not own a F-Bird so
I cannot speak for package on the F-Birds but others can.

can you use a carb or do you need injection

max 93 10-11-2007 08:29 AM

I think it is a great idea and I would definatly be interested depending on a few things. It would have to fit a 1st gen firebird, cost, would want to see a pic of how it is set up in the car, and most important... I still need to find a good project car.

79bluebird 10-11-2007 09:32 AM

i would love to be able to buy a kit and bolt it on. but i want a kit from procharger. which is what i plan to do over the winter is make brackets to mount a f1r to a pontiac motor. if i do another f-body street car i would like to try this kit out.

Josh69 10-11-2007 10:27 AM

As with anything, people are going to want to know what kind of specifics and approximate price range I think before you'll get much response. What people say they'll do online, and what they'll actually do are generally different, especially with no specific info.

steve 10-11-2007 12:05 PM

i feel the same way....sure would love to look into it but i know NOTHING about blowers so i cant really consider it until i know what its all about. especially what it costs...;)

fdowdy 10-11-2007 12:31 PM

Already have it for an ATI unit, not trying to steal Tom V's post but check out my website. Have been supplying ATI Prochargers with results for Pontiac for over 7 years.

gearbanger 10-11-2007 01:15 PM

I'm interested.

75cancup 10-11-2007 07:25 PM

Interested
 
Do we know a ballpark price ??

Tom Vaught 10-11-2007 08:04 PM

Ken Keefer and I are Friends. Ken presently has a Firebird kit that you can see for a firebird on his website as he mentioned in his post above. Look it over. Presently the supercharger people are looking at a GTO test market.
F-Bird stuff could be adapted until parts for a F-Bird are created by the company. SMALL STEPS!

If you want a supercharger now is the time to evaluate a professionally designed Supercharger type kit for a GTO and until then if you have to have a kit for a F-Bird you can buy Ken's stuff. I agree that if the GTO stuff takes off the F-Bird stuff will follow.

Check out Ken's site.

I am hoping the GTO kits will be in the Summit BB Chebby price range.
