well the exhaust will help free up some HP with the blower....the CAI doesn;t really add HP just looks good. Your chip is worthless with a KB because it comes with its own...so you can sell yours.
I think you'll be in the 360-380rwhp range with the 9psi intercooled kit. Thats plenty for the street.

hell no i would spend that kinda money on a KB and get less than 420 HP. Ide just get a procharger. "needs to spool into boost" when your racing your out of boost for 1 second from a dig then your in boost, once your in boost and shift youll be back in boost.

RE: KENNE BELL SUPERCHARGER FOR ME!!!!!
Stangerdad, I think I am going to choose the same route you are leaning towards... KenneBell 1.7
I think the basics say that if you want performance on the STREET, get one of the twin screw units (KB or Saleen), but if you want performance at the STRIP, get the centrif unit (ProCharger).
I am sucking the rare air of Colorado and definitely need some help.
I know someone who did lots of research before he chose the KB. He was extremely pleased with the service he got directly from KB during his self-install and his track times prove he got what he paid for. He got the KB Big Tube, Switch Chip, Boost-A-Pump and a few other goodies.
I have been considering the Texas Hot Rod group buy of the Saleen S/C. I haven't been able to get all my questions answered about that unit yet though. I will be calling Saleen directly this afternoon. I have not found any "proof" of what their unit will actually do. It appears that the price difference between the KB and Saleen units would end up being about 1K after all is said and done. Is the KB worth an extra 1K??? No one has been able to give a definitive answer, but most think it might be worth it. (If someone has two cars and buys one of each, maybe we'll actually find out!) If I go the KB route I won't be asking myself, "What if..." all the time.
Good Luck and after we're done installing ________ let's make sure we come back to the Forums and tell everyone about it.

I put my ProCharger on my daily driver and it hasn't changed the driving much, except over 2500 RPM's and then it's fun as hell.
It's been worth every penny so far and I've been driving it for 2 months now.
