There are plenty of turbo, SC, and ram-air kits for the small block chevy engines:

Don't forget though, it isn't just adding on boost, you'll have to deal with cam, heads/valves that can handle the increased flow, etc.

There are a couple other companies making sidepipes for C3's, including copies of the original GM parts. I would as though, why not the Hooker setup? They have a good reputation, are known to fit well, and have all the hardware included in the kit.

bill.
