Yeah. My supercharger doesn't have anything I would call an intake manifold bracket.

He wants a supercharger manifold. Answer: there are 4 offerings. 1) Tim Murphy's Murph Kit with Vortech centrifugal; 2) Andy Keel's kit with the Eaton or Whipple/Autorotor positive displacement sc, Andy has just gone out of the kit business; Quick Carl's Vortech kits for older cars at http://www.928motorsports.com and 4) F.A.S.T.

Do they come with a bracket?
Andy's is the only SC that doesn't use the stock intake manifold.

"supercharger intake manifold bracket"

Well you don't give many clues for what you are really looking for. If I parse your words and focus on tha last word as the noun with the remainder of them being adjetives, then my supercharger does have a "supercharger intake manifold BRACKET"......Are you looking for a piece that attaches the blower front bracket to the intake manifold (at the top of the bracket)? If so, it is a custome piece you need to have specifically engineered for yout blower bracket. Murphy's bracket was designed with one, I do not believe the FAST one was, nor he DELTA one.

Small adjustment there... FAST has announced they are out-of-business to their customers. In the last 2 weeks I have received no less than 3 calls from FAST SC kit guys looking for parts or tech support or upgrades. All complained that their calls and emails were no lonfger returned. One had spoken to the owners and was told directly that they are parting company and going their separate ways....

Well that is a shame Carl. I know you guys are better, but it still sucks to lose 25% of our huffing options.

More boost Gretch, that is why I'm resealing. I have two smaller pullies that will take Heidi to around 10 and 12 psi.

If you have the same pulley from Murph as I do, you will see 10 psi, as long as you have the tensioner cinched up tight. I backed mine off a bit to a point where I see 7 to 8 on the boost gauge, an No, I have no idea how accurate the gauge is..... But what ever it is, it turns the sneakers in 2nd gear with the application of throttle....
