Superchargers for my TBI 350...


Recommended Posts

Posted

Now Im looking into getting a supercharger for my yukon.  I found one by B&M (Holley now)......called the 144 Powercharger. Its made specifically for my truck.  Works with stock belts, a/c, power steering, cruise control and all that.

 

Now my question is, does anyone know where to find them?  Some of the other systems for my yukon are outrageous.  $4000 for one is nutz.  I was looking to spend $1200-$1800.....is it possible for me to find one that cheap, or no way?

 

If so, let me know where, who and how.

Most kits are going to be $2500-$3800. The Holley is a roots type supercharger which can make quicker boost at lower rpms compared to centrifugal type, but the air going into the engine is heated more, which creates the need for an intercooler, which reduces your flow. The most efficient design are the twin screw type (Whipple) There is some good comparison information at http://superchargersonline.com/

I looked at the Holley kits, but couldn't find any prices. Are those kits going for under $2000? In my opinion, the design and efficiency of the Whipple is worth the extra money.
