Default supercharger questions

this summer i will be working alot and i will probably be putting most of the money into my car. I was trying to decide between a supercharger and H/C/I. my question for the s/c is.... do i need more supporting mod's before i throw one on? am i going to have any problems? Im pretty much stock, except for bbk l/t headers, o/r x, and flows cat-back exhaust.

a h/c/i is a lil more work but its a lil cheaper... unless u buy like all hte expinsive ****... but if u buy an expensive s/c it will aslo be pricy.... i am doin my h/c/i first just so the s/c wouldnt be in the way... i have a cobra so i wont have to upgrade the fuel system for a h/c/i either cuz i already have 24#ers... u think 19's would even be ok but depends on how drastic of a h/c/i u do i suppose. only downside to h/c/i is its more work... like u physically put more time into it

With a H/C/I or a base model SC your are pushing your limits w/ the stock fuel system. There are a few calculators out there where you can determine your DC than go from there.

I personally went with a HCI and this summer i will be blowing it. It just made sense to do the motor work first, and the bolt the supercharger on top of an already done motor

im runnin 10.5 to 1 compression..
i guess a supercharger is out of the question for me...[&:]

btw.. what are the advantages of a high compression motor? does it built that much more power just on motor having more compression?
