Re: who is runnig a super charger (norvalwilhelm)
engine is an 355csb, pretty wild cam, iron heads, dual holley 600vac, T400 tranny, 4.10 gear ratio, it should deliver 5-7psi of boost according to the manual, but i have changed the pulleys so they only deliver around 2psi of boost right now... because im running with 10.5:1 pistons ... 
im gonna tear down the engine in a few weeks and install 7.5:1 pistons, then im heading for 16 - 18psi.

Re: who is runnig a super charger (Eriksson)
You don't need the wild cam for supercharging. You want 112- 114 lobe centers to build boost but not that much duration. The boost will fill the cylinder, you need to contain the boost and build pressure.
Don't go below 8 to 1 compression, run 15% overdrive and 12 pounds of boost is plenty. That give about 14-1 compression under load.
I would O ring the block at those high boost pressure.
It is a nice motor and will get lots of looks anywhere you go.
Good luck and I am glad to see someone else in running a blower besides myself.
Lots talk about it but you and I are the only ones actually running that I know of.
This is my 4th year for my 8-71 and still can't get use to the incredible low end torque.

Re: who is runnig a super charger (norvalwilhelm)
the cam i have now was installed before i decided to buy a blower, the old cam i took out is usually used i blown enginges (anyway here in sweden 
)
so that one will be used again when i install the new pistons.
O - ring the block is on the "to do list". also an electric waterpump.
8 to 1 compression will i look a little closer on, sound like a good idea!
nice looking engine by the way
Thank you!

Re: who is runnig a super charger (norvalwilhelm)
norval,forget about me.I have a question though, you running 15 over should put your boost way over ,sure not under? whats your pulley count?My new combo nearly finished, will be getting all the pics ready.
