I have Vortech, I suggest Kenne Bell... if you spend a lot of time driving around normal roads, the down low grunt is just so needed... I hate having to wind my Vortech up before it gets nasty

RE: What Supercharger should I get?
I have a KB and love it. Serious power down low, but I drive my car because its fun and i don't worry about mileage. I only use 93 oct. Any S/C will be great, and a lot of guys on here also have vortechs with no complaints. The s/c doesn't hurt your mileage, it's the bigger fuel pump and injectors that hurt it, and the biggest offender of the mileage is your foot.

I don't want to come off sounding like a dick, but if Money, reliability and decent gas mileage are a factor, why are you even considering a S/C?? 8.5lbs of boost = great for engine internal reliabilty. S/C = 91 or better Octane = $$$$.
S/C @ 8.5 lbs of boost on 91 Octane = $$$$$$
If it's what you want, then go ahead and get it.. But it'd be smarter to just save up, do some more research, and build the right set up for your desires...

I'm looking into getting a supercharger in the near future. Money is a factor, so I want the best bang for my buck. I still want to have great reliablity, decent gas mileage, and to try not to blow my motor at this point. So tell me what you guys think would be the best one to get.

And what else are you supposed to do? The only thing you can possibly do to acutally get some performance out of the car and still have decent in town gas milage is nitrous, or gutting the car (thats really super for a street car!)
Honestly if you want the absolute bang for your buck with a "always on" solution a supercharger is just the way to go. I had close to 4k tied up already in a N/A setup and didn't even make 300 RWHP. It seems like alot of cash to spend all at once, but it sure was worth it.
