Why not? 1) It will not fit under the hood and 2), if I'm going to upgrade from my current setup, I would be shooting for 500+ rwhp (I'm at about 420 - 430 right now), otherwise it isn't worth the upgrade for me. I know an MX424 can do that, but not so sure a MX422 can.

475hp/460lb.ftI'm at 440 with a 1.7l and I expect to have it near 470 by spring. After that I'll need to go to a larger blower if I want more power.

From looking at this installation, the clearance issue is the pulley on the compressor snout. The 6 lb pulley leaves about 1" clearance to the hood and my motor mounts aren't new.
I was looking for an aviation sheet metal artisan to form a tear-drop blister in the aluminum hood, over the pulley, but didn't get to that......
If you set up using the Shark Tuner and remap the A/F and ign maps you should be able to run 8-10 psi with OEM pistons and bottom end. Using just a RRFPR I think the risks are manageable in the 6-8 psi area, if you are careful.

What is RRFPR

With the SharkTuner being readily available, I would just go with 42# injectors and shark tune away. Should be able to deliver 10psi without issue.
So... how much?

This isn't so much a "For Sale" thread as it is a fishing expedition to gage the interest in this old kit, as I have been away from Rennlist and this project for a few years. My searches through the recent threads indicates that there seems to have been a quieting of the interest in supercharging, compared to what was going on 4-5 years ago here, so a request for a show of interest seemed appropriate.
I've had some interest from members by PM so this won't become a For Sale ad, in any case.
