Bill/Jrichard - The Vortec supercharger I am using on my derived 460 has a 5 inch intake and output. It is both heavy and BIG. Unless ATI has had some sort of break through I'm not aware of I don't see how they would fit a Superformance very well, as ATI's are now larger than Novi's and Vortec's but not the ball drive Paxtons. The key is the room in front of the engine, not above it. Also add to this is the fact that while the superchargers are made by Vortec and Paxton on big cubed motors they do not sell neat little kits of pulleys and brackets and pressure boxes and etc. to finish out these installs. Your on your own. VERY DISTURBING AND EXPENSIVE!
About 3 years ago I looked at ATI for the new promised big pump they said was forthcoming in a few months. HMMMMMMMM????
I keep coming back to my original premise of not if you can put one on (Yes,somehow you can) but rather if you should at all. And that goes double for a Superformance in my mind. Maybe the Elagant is somewhat O.K.
