For drag racing you want the "snail" type or centrifical supercharger. For low end torque & wheels spinning street fun get a screw type like a Whipple.
ATI Procharger probably has the best rep out of the centries (they look the best also IMHO).

There are all different sizes of centrifical superchargers dependig on your goals, budget, and setup. If you are a little more specific with those 3 areas I am sure someone can help you choose which is best for you.

Best bang for your buck is probably Vortech, but as stated it depends on your power goals, budget, etc. ProCharger is real nice, but a little more costly. And if you go roots or twin screw style then Whipple or Kenne Bell are both great as well.

2.3 Whipple at 8-10psi would net you those goals plus it looks a hell of a lot better then a blow drier sitting under the hood of your car. With a few suspension mods and DRs you can get into 11s and with slicks mid 11s.

Matter of opinion, I like the polished Procharger & the whistle it makes.:awesomework:

Whipple is gonna be $1k over ATI or Vortech centri for same boost. Install wil be more also. Whipples are nice tho.:awesomework:

He still needs to pass inspection though, so I'd just get short or mid length headers (plus clearance issues are big around here with these shitty roads lol), and some nice cams, like Comp Cams with a custom grind or similar brand. I think he already has gears.

Cams were rolling in my head too. Ive got 4:10 gears, but i need a matching torque converter,thats gonna be the 1st new mod. Ive been eyeing the ford intake, but i wanna read some more on this.... The mods i have are lower control arms steeda/drs w/skinneys/x pype/sct tuner w/bullet intake/4:10 gears, I think like rob said torque converter will be my nxt investment.But i still wanna cruise too.:)I get 19 to 20 on the highway now, too me if im cruising to albany milage does matter to a point.You gotta figure im in glensfalls, mr bills the only cruise thats real close too home. The rest r near clifton pk/albany area.. Headers im not sure????If i did buy them, it would be long tube!shortys i think are a waste..:)

I'd go with the C&L intake, that thing has shown some nice gains all through the powerband. As far as headers unless your going with F/I immediately, I wouldn't worry about getting the long tubes, as they really don't show that much of difference over the shorties. Maybe a few extra ponies, but nothing substantial or mind blowing.
