www.superchargersonline.com/images/repair/gm_rebuild_complete.jpgthat is a picture of the supercharger i put on my car, which just happens to be a 1990 buick riviera 3.8L V6 unfortunatly when i put it on i didnt have enough money to put on other neccasary parts to keep it running. i also didnt properly retard the timing so my car blew a gasket and four main seal rings going from my fuel rail to my injectors(hopefully i didnt blew the injectors) although i did get to hear its sweet squeal and got it to 40 mph MUCH quicker before i had to get it towed back to my house. so in a way the project was a faliure BUT..... at least i did it. so im selling it and my car and buying somthing else, for a second there my car had a chance of whooping up on everyone

GOOD POINT!!!!!!!!!
but my charger also fits many fine GM products. my car has the fuel injected 3800. a very common car in domestic market.
so it should be pretty easy to sell...........
