1st of all you not going to get a roots blower if you have a F-body, at least not yet. You need to look at a Procharger or a Vortech. On top of that you will need a good fuel system, pump, injectors. FP and boost gauge, Wide band if you have the money. Good tune is a must. Headders and a good cat back would be a great. Ram Air kit will not work with Procharger but Vortech still uses stock filter location, (f-Body). After all that you can plan on a upgrade to your suspension and rear end as well.

Good luck, force induction is not cheap by no means.

For a good source of info head over to Bob,s site Exotic Performance Plus (EPP) should be able to take care of your questions as well.

Well with a Camaro or firebird there aint a kit that works on them as there is no clearance under the cowl. They have kits for gto's and vette's though.
As far as what else is needed that all depends on the amt of power you wish to make. If you are lookin to make under 450 rwhp then the stock fuel system would work fine. Over that you need to get a pump, or 2, injectors, a FPR, prolly lines and rails. You definatly need a good tune for the car and a widebad o2 kit is advisable. Stock rearends and clutches dont liek that kind of power adn if you have a auto tranny they dont like it either.
As far as teh exhaust goes the better it flows the more power a supercharger makes. So duals would be better but for the price of them it aitn worth it.
Its definatly REALLY expensive ****. GL man
