I need a list of parts to supercharge my '87 firebird

Hey, im determined to supercharge my '87 firebird 350TPI i would like to go with a 6-8psi boost. I know that i have to convert to a serpentine belt setup as no-one makes a v-belt charger for these cars anymore.

basically i just need to know what parts i will need to get my car going. I cant afford to buy a complete kit right now so i will be buying stuff piece by piece.

What brand supercharger would you recomend?
What size injectors do i need to upgrade to? and do i need a new fuel pump?
will my stock computer work for now? i know i should get a custom eprom.
I already have a msd 6AL so im assuming i just have to get a BTM to go with it?

I have no problem doing stuff myself and have rebuilt several engines and restored a few cars so ill be doing all the work myself.

any tips before i get started?

also, if anyone has a used charger feel free to chime in lol

You could always skip the serp conversion and get the brackets for ProCharger's Carb Chevy application.

With 6-8psi of boost. I think the factory injector on those cars are 19#? You definately need a set of larger injector. I got a set 50s high Z injector for sale cheap $300 ship . I paid $480 bought it from Racetronic and have about 11k miles on it. I can do payal. Interested email me

Actually, you wouldn't even need to switch over to carb. You'd just use the Carb Chevy brackets and run the intercooler tubes over to your throttle body.
