Hey guyz i was considering going a different way with the F8B instead of the typical turbo would anyone kno how difficult and expensive it is to supercharge one?
not looking for extreme power just a nice sounding and good looking F8B under my hood and obviously a little bit more zippy.
if u could name the parts i would need and give me a hand it would be much appreciated.
thankyou :D

If you want to keep it carby-fed then you need a supercharger (duh), an SU carby, custom manifold and appropriate electronic ignition or regraphed distributor. A fuel pump with higher pressure capacity would also be a must.

Supercharging an F8B has already been done by mini_compressor. He could fill you in on the cost, but I would expect that it won't be much difference in price to a turbo install.
