Welp.... would this kit be?

Looks like it would get you at about the same
(perhaps a tad less) than a new 5.0

Performance without having to trade the body style I like now...
and not having to wonder about a boosted engine blowing your motor.

Wonder how much a dealership would charge for the install?

Opinions on all of this?

That's a cool package. But a dealership will screw you hard to install that if they would in the first place. I'd expect a few G's in labor.

Not into superchargers but all in all if I had to do it over again I would have just spent the money on a blower and got it over with. The labor costs to install all of it push it into the range of a supercharger without the gains.

Also I wouldnt have issues trying to get the darn thing to pass emmissions here in Texas.

..... are you saying you got this kit?

Hootna

Not the exact kit but the same basic setup. I wouldnt do it over again. spent a boat load of cash for minimal gain. But if you are a diehard N/A person like me I say go for it.

Wow ... they got 425HP out of this kit! I'd pay for this before a Blower if the price was comparable ... You also save an extra $150 using you stock valve covers.

easier and cheaper to get a paxton or vortech

Yea blowers the way to go for cost/gains but this is still cool expecially with 425hp and a 7000rpm rev limit

spend another $1,000 to grab a blower and you can have 420+ rwhp instead


would be nice to have all those bolt-ons to support a blower though
