Have you already modified your engine so it could support one?

You will need a lot to do it. Just a small list of the big stufff maf, intake tube, plenum, throttle body, supercharger, mounting bracket, inner cooler, coolant rad, misc hoses, tuner, bigger fuel pumps (most go with dual walboro 25lph), plugs and bigger injectors.

While your ito it might as well port the heads and upgrade to forged rods n pistons, forged crank and mild cams, then you will have to go get it professionally tuned

You could also go with a centrifugal charger to cut down on the cost....ProCharger and Vortech both make a nice add on.
