Welcome Slavko.
The best person to deal with is Neil Griffith in NSW, so that probably won't help.
I will also appreciate it if you take a bit more care with your presentation so I don't have to go through the tiresome procedure of adding you to the Sin-Bin
Neil Griffiths Trader NSW I have MORE Soarers than Hayden :-)

hey guys! noticed new options for supercharging are coming out! i have checked out and am showing a fair bit of intrest in the electric air rams (super E-rams). can any one please share some light on this topic for the 91 limited V8 models! they look to easy to install,priced at under 500 bucks and have proven to give increases of 15 thru to 22%horse pwr gain. dont know if this is a good option or not.i am not scared of spending 8K or more in the belt driven supercharges, but would be more than keen on experimenting with this other option

Save your money mate...
If you do the sums you will find you need to draw kilowatts of electrical power to push any decent amount of air.
@ 12V and 70 amps from the alternator you're maxing out at 840 watts (which is already being power zapped from the motor creating the electrical power) then you have to make that back, plus more to make a gain.
In my opinion, it'll sound cool, but that's about it

Slavko, I am in Perth. I currently have a Terracharger (M90) with custom manifold running 6psi for sale for $3500. You can get someone like Joe (Hollywood) to install it for a little extra (need to check with him)
It's an excellent setup which I am only replacing because I've gone mad and spent a fortune on a 5.2l stroker kit with a twin screw charger.
If you are interested PM me. I have two others interested, but first in with the cash gets it. Note that it is currently on my car so a purchase would mean I have to remove it first, just so you are aware.
