You can use any centrifugal supercharger on a carbureted engine. You will need a "hat" or box for the carburetor for the piping to connect to. __________________ Racing in memory of Dave Bandt 11/19/69 - 3/23/08 "he's traded his wheels for wings" Professor of Natural Aspiration Thanks to: Artie at Trick Flow, Dave at Team Z Motorsports, Brian at Total Engine Airflow and Harold at Furo Racecraft

I was getting ready to say that everything i knew had been a lie! There are different types of blowers, then there are different types of poweradders...Did you happen to mean, turbocharger or supercharger?

It depends. If you use the hat you have to modify the carb to be a blow thru carb. If you use the box, the carb will have equal pressure on the outside as it does on the inside just as if it was a naturally aspirated set up and will not need any major modifications.........so they tell me anyway.

Turbomustangs.com has alot of good blow thru carb info.

Slicks and struts. I have also called roots type(blowers), and centrifugal(superchargers). __________________ Originally Posted by -Joeyy- darrel man get a life your wat 45 and your arguing with a 18 year old kid? ide like to get the thread back on topic so please act ur age and get over the past... k? thanks

+1, if in a box, all you should need to do is jet it correctly, and get your fuel pressure situation under control.

+2... I would change the main body to something that don't have a choke plate and bigger cfm, along with what you said.
