not if you use a centrifugal supercharger. fabricate a bracket for the charger itself, and your almost home. Superchargers are a waste of money and more complicated than a turbo.
wrong again. turbocharger systems are more complicated than supercharger systems. a waste of money? imo, no. you can produce the same amount of power with a supercharger that you can with a turbo. turbochargers aren't that much more efficient than the centrifugal superchargers that are on the market today.
in the end it all boils down to a matter of taste.
I wouldnt buy one even if it was a grand.
your loss.

like i said, it's a matter of taste. don't underestimate a centrifugal supercharged car just because peak power comes at redline.
You could get like a powerdyne (sp?) centrifugal supercharger if you want to remove the AC and relocate power steering to mount it. But then you have to make a pulley that uses the KA's belt for that location.
or you could mount the supercharger between the engine and the radiator (i.e. like the S2000), have it spin counterclockwise, and not remove anything.
