streetability? anyone running a 370ci with a f-1a or f-1r procharger? if so what rearend and tranny are you using along with stall if an auto? what kind of suspension setup? and how streetable is your car and what time are you running at the track? im asking these questions because my orginal plan was something along the lines of a 408 with a turbo, but looked into it and it seems like it would be a little more cost effiecent with a supercharger. i do not have any of this yet but figuring out plans for the future... i want to get parts that would help instead of having to do it twice. my plans are to mostly drive it on the street (not my DD) with respectable track times...and i dont want to continue the nitrous route for personal preferences... thanks
well everyone has their own opinion on what streetable is but I will be running a 370ci with a TC76MPS turbo set-upand I am running a FLT stage 3 4L80E with a 4k stall and a 9" with 3.50 gears. The car is not together yet but I do plan to drive it on the street

keep me updated on when you get it done and how the manners are...im not looking for a cadillac on drivability...but something i can drive on the road if i wanted to...turbos would be fun...but from what ive seen on here, getting a kit is pretty difficult, so im gonna go with a supercharger...

if you want something street able there's nothing more streetable than a mild 402 stroker with a nice set of heads and spray..... if you want to drive this thing around very much i would heavily consider going back to nitrous... 550-600fwhp is very easily obtainable these days with a 402 then put a 200 shot on it and be done with it... its just too easy....

im use to being around nitrous cars....i wanna be different from the norm....one reason i want to get away from it...i know there are a bunch of people on this site with turbos or superchargers, but i dont meet too many on the street or at work with one...i want a challenge

well if your looking for a challenge then FI is for you... cause something is always breaking it seems like... especially if you street drive it much and abuse it much...
but i do agree with you that if your no where near a reputalbe shop then stick with a procharger... i'd even look into speed inc's ysi blower kit since they can run a wider belt... looks like psj had some nice custom pieces that you could ask him about..

i dont have a 370 or a 402, but i have the LS1 with a cam and STS and she makes 500rwhp with cam and supporting mods (provided i dont use the stock clutch 
) and she does a lot of highway rolls, pretty nice and simple if you ask me
