I tried this on my 2.8 quite a while ago. My original idea was to make a sort of dual-log manifold that bolted to the fiero middle intake, but left room for the injection stuff beneath it. This proved to be complicated, and to make it come out square eould have been a challenge. I ended up trading the supercharger for a turbo. The turbo turned out to be junk :P
However, I recently learned to weld aluminum, and then I had another idea that I think would work quite well. What if I were to take the stock fiero upper intake, shave down the ridges on a mill, then cut open the top of it, weld the original intake hole shut, and then weld another plate to the top thats drilled with the supercharger's bolt pattern? Id just have to make sure it lines up properly with the serpentine belt. But it would have a much higher likelihood of coming out nice and square, because its got way fewer pieces and aluminum tends to stay put when you weld it anyways
It would stick way out of the trunklid, but hey, youd have a supercharger so who cares
