Michael Hewitt was the sales manager for Harrop Superchargers in 2008, and there wasn't no kit available for a 67 Camaro with DSE subframe. The only option was the hot rod kit. I have stated this in a previous post. There is special shaft distance that needs to be specified on other cars. I wanted the TVS2300, which is a sixth generation supercharger.

Again this is all new cars. SSR uses a fifth generation supercharger MP112.

If you can use stock accessories in whatever car you're putting this in, then use the Magnacharger kit that matches those accessories.
Again, it was a new supercharger design and I was talking to the original developers. So, I am not sure if you are helping out the OP. If the OP wants to use the MP112, then he can use it. My Harrop TVS2300 had the DSE subframe, so a new pulley setup was developed by Wegner Automotive. In 2010, there was a magnacharger TVS2300 developed by Wegner. Again a new pulley setup was developed for that build, but I think Killer67 build uses the speedtech subframe. https://lateral-g.net/forums/show...t=27799&page=3

Raj has his 1969 Camaro done, so he can give you a better estimate on fuel economy. Raj has a Harrop TVS2300 also. There is a few on this website.
The OP seems to rather have turbo's, than a supercharger. Still there is cost issue, so just be aware. Jody http://www.camcojb.com/ built Malitiude 2 a twin Turbo 64 chevelle, so perhaps he can give better information on the build. There is long post on it. I have been in Pro-Touring since about 2001. When I joined this forum back in 2005, Jody was building the 69 Camaro with twin turbos. The build was sold, so just be aware that the build can get rather expensive and never gets finished. The problem is that you take a huge loss on selling an unfinished project. (My reasons for posting is mainly for the unfinished cars that never get finished. If you can't afford to build it. Then chose an engine build that is less costly.)

I'd probably do N/A to get the car up and driving, and then plan a forced induction build later on. That was going to be my initial plan for my second gen whenever that build starts. Turbo's are more expensive in most cases, and definitely a harder setup to engineer. I really like the Harrop/Maggie setups now, and Mark Stielow has proven that type of blower can be more than competitive and a lot of fun to drive.
