I sent you a PM and have one for sale that would be ideal in my opinion. Check your Private Messages.

When you do have your plan together I have two complete cis intakes and fuel setups, a new, spare set of bursch headers, a bunch of edis ignitors, a megasquirt 2 complete and working, and a bunch of stuff that might be helpful...as I said happy to answer specific questions or just chat...when I put mine together I had an elder gentleman who did a similar project spend dozens of hour talking...I can share you the engineering drawings for the pulleys, experience with auto rotor which is what kenne sells, experience with Gerhard at Bell, which throttle bodies will puke plugs into your rotor....which crank triggers like to pick up multiple teeth, etc...

It sounds like you want to keep things simple and are shooting for modest and reasonable gains. While JohnJL executed an incredible build, I dont think thats what you had in mind. It actually seems a bit overkill for only 340 hp. If you want simple go with a centrifugal type blower because you can mount it without modifying the intake or fabricating bulky extensive brackets. You can also fab up a simple drive system. The blowers on these are almost always in the same spot so you can easily copy someones drive setup. I actually ran mine for years with a v-belt drive and mechanical tensioner and only recently had a serpentine pulley made. You will need a BEGI FRP and a chip to account for ign and fuel mapping. I'm sure Steve Wong can help with this. Thats about it. I have since gone thru the motor and upgraded blowers but I ran that setup for years with no problems at all.

Thanks Rod...
The only point I'd differ on I the choice of a centrifugal supercharger. It will deliver turbo like power and torque curves. You can go down that well trodden path by implementing a turbo conversion. The thing I love about screw type charger like auto rotor is the torque and power are instantaneous. And predictible hp.tq curves are easier to drive fast.
