Okay, I found a good deal on a Powerdyne DB-10 supercharger, comes with 6#, 9#, and 12# pullies. Here is the specs of my motor:

Stock 86 short block
E7 heads
stock intakes
70mm throttle body & spacer
mass air conversion
cold air induction
long tube headers
no smog
no a/c
no power steering

Do you guys think this supercharger will be okay on my engine? What psi should I run it at?

Thanks.
