what would labor install costs be? and as opposed to the one i linked ( http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...#ht_548wt_1165 )

Also, what else will I need when I order my r2300 kit ( http://store.roushperformance.com/detail.aspx?ID=1536 )? Will I need to upgrade my driveshaft or anything else?

Supercharging is the single best mod but you need to be informed and ready to pay up if sh*t blows up. Do loads of research before you buy anything.

tbh, that's what I'm trying to do but I've asked the above question 5 or 6 times on this forum alone and haven't received any response.

Not sure on labor. It can be performed in your driveway on jackstands with simple hand tools and a torque wrench. I highly suggest this route if its possible.

I might be wrong here but the kit doesn't say anything about injectors. With the M90 I can see them not being needed, but the TVS will max out the stock injectors best to my knowledge. I'd also invest in a dual GT500 pump setup to support future goals. I'd look around for guys running the TVS and PM them with questions about the setup, I'm 99% sure you'll get the answers you want by somebody who has been through it.

You don't NEED the driveshaft. Just like you dont NEED a blower, but its nice to have

Just curious, why are you set on the TVS, not considering the Whipple or Kenne bell?

1) I may have to look into that then. I wasn't aware it was that simple.

2)So the stock driveshaft won't fail under the horsepower I'll make?

3) I kinda want to stick with Roush, but if I found a way better deal, I wouldn't really care. If you could recommend any setup, which would it be?

1.) Its pretty simple, TacoBill has a writeup here. Lookup the sticky of all his stuff its in there.

2.) Stock driveshaft will be fine at those power levels. You have rods and input shafts to beef up before the driveshaft is an issue.

3.) I would look into Whipple and KB setups due to their popularity. Depends on what your goals are, what tracktimes/dyno numbers you shooting for?

1) Will do, thanks man.

2)gotcha, thanks man.

3) I think my goal is 500 at the flywheel. That should be pretty easy, shouldn't it? 425 to the wheels on the low end.
