ID POINT OUT THAT IF YOUR DETERMINED TO INSTALL A SUPERCHARGER, the 144 and other smaller roots design superchargers run out of boost fairly fast, Ive found the 871 to be a very effective choice, but any roots design is likely to be both far less effective and cause more hood clearance issues than the bigger centrifical superchargers

you can easily get a well designed NON-superchharged 383-434 SBC to produce 400 rear wheel hp with or without nitrous and more with nitrous, if your like most of us LACK of MONEY and TIME in some cases are the roadblocks, youll be far better off building a reasonably mild NON-supercharged SBC of decent size with matched parts and gearing the car correctly and driving it that way 99% of the time and only when necessary engauging the nitrous for that extra 100-150 hp boost, why?
the less complicated and the less parts used in the build the lower your maintinance and costs tend to be and the lower your tunning and mechanical skills need to be,its also related to cost vs performance, you can build a killer N/A sbc for under $8K thats going to run for years with few problems, adding nitrous thats rarely used won,t cost much or hurt longevity but a superchargers going to require more up front cost and more maintinance and more up-keep
most PROJECTs get side tracked or never completed due to LACK of FUNDS, or purchaseing (DEALS) on mis-matched components or unrealistic goals that far exceed the available funds and skill levels, in most cases your better off sitting down and making BOTH an EXACT parts list with prices and part numbers and setting a REALISTIC BUDGET and SCHEDUAL to aquire all the components, and machine work.
just think thru your goals and don,t get 1/2 way into some project and find its getting too expensive or won,t meet your expectations, do the research, before spending your cash, and youll be far better off.
