From what I have gathered from word of mouth, it has been tried by others, but unsuccessful. You have alot to work against, it just won't bolt right up. You have different cylinder heads, lower intake manifold, fuel system, PCM programming, accessory and belt mounting, ect. that will need to come into play not too mention that the throttle body will be past your firewall! This is also assuming that the tall, bulky supercharger will clear the low laying f-body cowl, which it won't. For the time and money spent, you could have probably bought a centrifugal supercharger that will fit the f-body V6 platform, nitrous, or a turbo setup.

I'm curious as to how he rigged up the throttle body, is that it in his avatar, the L-shaped piece? Looks like he proved us all wrong, but it is still a good deal of work, fabrication, and parts involved. Granted an M90 roots blower can be had for cheap, but the overall cost is something to consider as well. Has he installed an intercooler on there as well or is it still too early in the project? I could only view the first page of that thread, the rest you have to be a registered user to view.
