Try e-mailing him. He's been working on it for quite a while. So he should have something by now.
He told me that he's not working on putting together any supercharger kit but he has put together a parts/vendor list.
He's also scanned in a copy of his original instructions and created a webpage with a few pictures that will be beneficial.
I asked some more questions after looking at those documents, so I'll know more about it tomorrow evening hopefully but so far so good.

The Camden Superchargers look pretty cool to me, but they are expensive. By the time you buy the super charger and then an aftermarket carb, fuel stuff etc, it is a bit pricey, well for me anyways. But if you had any questions about supercharging your 7, you could also call or email Dave at Atkins, I am sure he would help you out.

That sounds good. You should be able to make your own kit pretty easily. Maybe you could try using a Vortech supercharger instead of a Paxton.

Yeah, I was looking for someone who could have tried a Vortech but found nothing. I made an information request directly to Vortech by e-mail but no answer so far. Vortech's superchargers seem actually of better construction, if I judge from what I've read.

I have been contemplating a Roots-type supercharger setup for a few months on my car. From my experience, centrifugal superchargers have poor boost control and are very "peaky". A roots supercharger get on boost off idle and stays there until redline. The trade off is they only make a maximum boost of about 5-8 psi before they overspeed.
