    M90 on top of 302.

    I was reading a thread on superchargers and I was wondering if it was possible to put my Eaton M90 SC on top of my 302. Would it push enough air to even make boost? It's off my 3.8L (made 15psi). Also if anyone has done this (havent seen it) what intake did you use? Thx, Zach
