Supercharged 1st gen?
#11
Edit: Actually one of the main reasons I am doing it is to add about 200rwhp without the bottle, AND clear up my idle haze so I can actually drive the thing here in LA. People I have talked to have told me that they have had 4-5psi at idle with a Procharger, so I am hoping it will clear up my smoke under low/no load conditions. They have also said it helps with fuel economy so that I will be curious about also considering I already get 25-27mpg depending on how I drive.

There's something I'm still a little puzzled about with the supercharger. Does the supercharger charge the turbo intake? Since most chargers safely produce 8-10 psi I'd think that'd starve the turbo once it spooled. Or do the turbos feed the supercharger taking the air that is provided to it and compounding it. I'd think it'd be easier for the supercharger to get its air thru a turbo versus a turbo pulling air from a supercharger. Otherwise; you'd have to get a supercharger capable of flowing the equivalent CFM of a turbo at say 35psi to keep from choking it. Am I thinking correctly?

Ummm, . . .. IIRC, the typical 6-71 GMC blower sen on may big-big dragsters was originally used on a GMC diesel (6 cylinders, of 71cu/in each). It was used to scavenge the exhaust.
