SuperCharger Questions

Ok, here's the scoop. I have an '82sc with about 120k miles with original everything. I want more power. Should I:

A. Rebuild, soup up and install upgraded engine management?
B. Add a low pressure supercharger?

B would be cheaper but where can I get a good quality SC and how much will it cost? I've searched the net but haven't really found any good info on the subject. Any suggestions are appreciated. I don't want to spend a ton

Thanks!

Eric, I have done a LOT of research on the subject, but don't want to go into detail here, if you want to send me a PM we can talk . . .

I know of a SOK/Paxton supercharger for about $1,300 below list price. This includes all electronics. You'll need a pulley and "wires" for the unit itself, and a tail (the ducktail won't work).

Email me if you want details.

I am curious about this as well. I have an Eaton M-90 off a Ford SuperCoupe I bought for $200.00, a 930 intercooler and airbox. I was planning on dropping the engine in a few weeks, and going for it. Any help in this area would be appreciated as well.
