I need your help trying to get into the 8's in the 1/8
Ok here is what i want.
cam
bbtb
zex kit
super charger
ingnition
boost contrller
safc
What is a good company that makes a supercharge for the tibby? Will a boost controller work? what is a good company for the ignition? Is Jacubic Electronics worth a ****? Or should i go with msd or some other type?
With all these mods would i be able to get into the 8's in the 1/8? Also would i need to rebuilt the engine for the boost? If so what are the bestparts to buy for this application? Where would i go about getting them? I want this to be bullet proof. Also what psi would it be pushing? I was hoping for 4-5 on the street and 8-14 on the track? Do i need the safc for the zex kit or for the supercharger? What is a good fuel pump to go with?

They're right dude--you need to get down off the ledge and do a bit of planning. If you want to go supercharged, that will be the central issue to plan around. The only real SC 'kit' for the tib right now is the Alpine unit--and there are nothing but horror stories about it. Out of the few members on this board that do have it, only one got it running reasonably well. And it's hardly a complete kit either, a number of things are needed to make it work.
As for the other stuff--well where you go with that depends on what you do for your boost. The ideal cam for a N/A setup is different from one for a force induction system.
An S-AFC won't work with high boost levels. You'll need stand-alone engine management to hit 10 psi.
Aftermarket ignition systems for our cars are hard to find. It's something that you probably wouldn't benefit from until you start using the stand-alone engine management anyways.
And then there are the internal upgrades that you should make if you hit 14 psi--especially if you plan to use nitrous.
Search the forums here, there have been a number of discussions on these topics. Read up on supercharging a bit more, understand what it is you're aiming for. And ask more specific questions, one huge barrage is very hard to answer wink

You should ask a specific question. Alot of these topics have been covered in depth in the past, so you'll find numerous topics on them.
Search for what you want to learn about, and if you that doesn't answer your question, then you should post asking a question. just a FYI
