You can make that work easily just buying a kit for the year of your GTO, but if you go over 10psi of boost, you might start getting belt slip. I will be the first to admit that the only reason I went with the Wegner setup is cause is looked so cool (pricey but cool)!

Lots of options to set up a Maggie. I bought mine used from a guy on Camaro 5 and saved a couple grand. You could try the same with the GTO forum. I had to send mine to Wegner to get it configured for their kit, and while it was there they ported it for me. Casey said it was worth about 25 hp.

Sorry, I should have been a bit more clear. My "GTO LS1" is in my '69 Camaro. So I'd be looking at something similar to your setup possibly.

The stock GTO accessory drive had the low mount AC. Right now, all my accessories are on one belt. I don't think I would want to go over 10psi in my application anyway.

If I go for a "kit" I'd like to figure out what the closest thing to what I have would end up being. The biggest issue being accessories of course. I'd like stuff to fit without having to add a whole new accessory drive to the price of the supercharger.

Awesome results and perfect for a car that gets driven regularly. Great power from that TVS2300! Congrats again and looking forward to some track times if that is in this car's future!

Awesome! Nothing like a supercharger.
