Hi Michael

There are no superchargers that fit your car. Realize that your engine is 22 years old and wasn't exactly the model of durability even when it was built. Supercharging it would likely blow that engine.

If you're serious about performance with that car. I would recommend doing a engine swap to a carburated 302 (5.0L) V8. It would cost maybe $1000 for the engine and the labor to have the swap done would likely cost another $1000, but the car will be much quicker.

If you're looking for something simple, I'd make sure that all the routine maintenance has been done and then get a custom cat-back performance exhaust built by an exhaust shop. It will cost roughly $200 and maybe give you 5 hp.
