I was thinking on how would i and whom to get in touch with on doing a set up with a small supercharger, say 177 cid, and instead of using a carb use a TBI and run E85 at the same time. Its 94 chevy 350.

The issue I see combining e85 AND a supercharger all ulsing a TBI, is that you won't find many TBIs that can support the fuel flow required for e85 AND boost at the same time.

How much total power at the flywheel are you looking for?

you are probably looking at 2 of something similar to what TheSilverBuick has. I forget who makes the aftermarket TBIs with 4 big injectors each?

Might want to check out one of those plate setups with 8 standard injectors, and some kind of plain jane throttle body instead - I know some guys doing this on a relatively small budget (6-71 Weiand on 340" inline 8)...
