Going to supercharge the Cat

I am putting an Eaton M90 blower from the supercoupe on my engine, I am either going to have to fabricate my own bracket or use the BBK Instacharger stuff as it used the same supercharger, so yes the M90 will work great with a 5.0 I have already seen other people who have done the same thing.

Problem is, BBK stopped making the Instacharger kit a while ago so if anyone sees the brackets on ebay or anywhere please give me the heads up. As far as the actual supercharger... well that is dirt cheap on ebay. I will keep you guys updated. :hick:

The instacharger could do 9psi.. thats a good bit.  There are a couple of Corral guys running them.. and one guy who has a custom bracket setup to hold it.

Do you have to go to EFI to do that, or can you keep it carb?

I hope you plan to put a better cam and heads in it first (possibly pistons if needed).  Just remind me to not race your car when you make it back down to NC...

I already have E7s getting them this week. I also might buy a roller block. Dude only wants $250 for it.

I am getting the E7s for $75 :]

Cam will be no problem to get.

Sounds good man!  Buy the roller block and completely go through it with good pistons and such.  Maybe port the E7s if possible.  You cat will be badass.

That seems awfully cheap. WTH is in the kit? Just a bunch-o-brackets?

hey guys if that is a pricing mistake by summit please do not buy them until tomorrow. I get paid tomorrow and am going to buy that just to see what they send me. I will keep you all updated.

lol I bet it should be 1,300

I has to be a pricing mistake!

same part number let's all buy them at the same time so they don't catch on before they change the price.

are you going to setup the carb as a blowthrough or drawthrough?

There is no way in HELL that an instacharger is worth 3800... NO WAY in HELL.  For that price you could buy a twin or single turbo kit capable of 20+ psi..

The instacherger was made over 15 years ago, one of the first superchargers for the Mustang.  I would build a kit myself.. hell I have the supercharger even...
