Forced Induction

Is there any carb legal turbo or supercharger kits? Also, should you turbocharge or supercharge an automatic transmission?

hi mazda, welcome!
1) I don't think any of the FI systems are carb legal...yet. I think pettit talked about doing it but not sure if it's been completed.

2. as for Turbo or SC, you have MUCH reading to do. Take a look at our search function and go from there...
