Default Any ls1 fders go forced induction?

Looking to go FI on my setup instead of n/a.

Anyone else done it with there rx7s? Im actually thinking top mount supercharger instead of turbo.

Magnacharger, whipple or kenne bell maybe.... That decision is still out there... Just looking for some info on PEOPLE WHO HAVE DONE IT OR CONSIDERED IT.

Not just no dont do that and with no real answer why...

Thanks

A few people have done it over the years, but it's not a simple bolt-on install since the engine bays are pretty cramped in FDs. You might want to check out v8rx7forum.com and search around a bit. Personally I want to get a Kenne Bell blower thrown on mine someday, but I'm not too concerned with hood clearance since I already have a CF hood bulge to clear my Granny's standard rack height kit.

As much as I love superchargers I LOVE turbos, I have heard they are better for performance to, but thats just my 2 cents
