if you REALLY want to go the S/C route.. keep saving ...there is nothing wrong at all with being responsible with your money and saving it up for everything all at once..

or,, consider the nitrous route... from what ive seen people say, a properly installed and safely tuned 100 shot is no more than 8-900 dollars

in my opinion a vortech kit is well worth the money for the power gains. if i ever get a blower for my car i would get a vortech kit, with a nice dyno tune, nothing too extreme. you can get some gears, but if you can save up the money, and are willing to spend it on the car, i would def go with a supercharger. you can also get a used one off of ebay. talk to nanaki, he is a wealth of knowledge on superchargers. he has good info too.

that is my exact opinion on nitrous also, spraying is sweet, but a blower is always there.

i am actually really lost on what all to get for a exhaust system, i am not sure if i want to spend all the money for a full one right now but just something that will be a little bit of a power adder and make some more noise. i have flowmasters on now if that helps at all lol
