With or without upgrading springs?

Either way, I wouldn't do it myself.

installing cams requires 3x more still and 1/4 the time of installing a supercharger. Have you installed a supercharger before?

I think he meant "skill" not "still," as in it it 3 times harder to install cams than to install a supercharger.

Yep that's what I meant, but we're talking an easy supercharger like a Saleen IV not a custom fab kit or a centri or anything
