Get a tune from brenspeed and the steeda cold air intake and then when you buy a supercharger from brenspeeed you will save about the same amount you spent. Also you still have options, you can research longer and make the best decision.

That being said, boost is amazing!![sm=gears.gif]

It's funny, the advice to go FI. I read it all the time. And maybe once I go FI I will advise the same. In the meantime I am paying the car off and planning incremental mods. Its hard to wait, ESPECIALLY being on these forums when there are about 50 posts a minute talking about various mods,and the vast marjority of the # of posts do not concern FI.

I don't know your personal finances but if you are making payments it makes more sense to pay off the car first in case you get hit with unexpected expenses. Be smart.

I think its best to go NA with boltons. Because in the end these things are just cars, and they simply are meant to get us from point A to point B. Bolt on mods let you do it with a little more safe fun.

A supercharger, on the other hand, becomes a way of life and takes dedication. First, it costs about $5K on average. But you must then always be prepared to build the block if something breaks, upgrade the clutch, driveshaft, possibly better tires or at least replace your tires more frequently, get the correct guages, the list goes on. Its no longer just a car at that point, its basically a new child in your family.

So it depends on your situation, but Id rather just keep it simple with boltons since Im only inthe car when I'm driving somewhere....
