Do they make a affordable Supercharger, or Turbocharger that give's decent power and boost or can someone jus put a link or something up that while make my 350 rocket have street respect and kick a couple of ford's and chevy's *ss?
 
Your cheapest option would be nitrous. The only "bolt-on" superchargers out there are the old roots style blowers. You can get them from places like www.hamptonblowers.com. buy those are going to be $3500 plus.

Damn ha out of my price range but I'm kind of afraid of nitro is it safe and would it hurt the engine any type of way?

yes, yes it will hurt your engine. nitrous is beyond dangerous for my taste, lessens the life of an engine significantly, and unless at the track is usually just a bad idea.

thats just my opinion on it

You might check some jet boat or drag boat forums. Lots of those are blown Olds. Maybe shoot Ringers a PM since he's deep in that scene. He may even have or know someone who has a used unit.

All right, thank's for the info.
 
Like anything else if set up properly nitrous is perfectly safe and no more dangerous than pushing a bunch of boost through an engine. You just have to know how to use it and have all of the fail safes installed.

I have mine set up with a window switch, which has a start and finish RPM and along with that I have a full throttle switch so it can only come on with the 4 barrel all the way open, then finally there is a momentary switch on my shifter. So once the nitrous is armed it still has to meet all the requirements of the other three to even come on.
And off coarse I built my engine with nitrous in mind and designed my cam for it and have my rings gapped for it.
