Whether it's a Turbocharger (exhaust gas driven) or a Supercharger (belt driven) - - and both have their good and bad points - - the issue with putting either one on a Chrysler hemi is the same. Under boost you need more fuel and so far there's not a reliable way to acheive this. That's why the GSM supercharged 6.1's are blowing up, because they lean out under boost. Way back before I ever heard of this forum I saw an add for "Kenne Bell" superchargers in a car magazine, for the 5.7 hemi. But when I went to their website it said they had been unable to produce a reliable kit for the hemi due to this issue and therefore were not going to release it after all.
Other companies appear not to be quite so reputable and have decided to go ahead and sell it and let owners be the sacrificial lambs I guess.
Someone WILL figure it out I'm sure; I know that I would likely trust Kenne Bell if and when they do release a supercharger for sale, given their actions in the past.
