I've heard QUITE A FEW people with S/C's say they wish they would have blown their motors FIRST, then bought the other bolt ons and stuff as time went.
SAVE money, then splurge it on the S/Cer and be happy.

RE: What Next?
apparently they want nothign to do with my opinion.. lol
Think about it though guys...
FULL BOLT ons is gonna run you quite a large chunk of money, and get you to what,, the 270's at most in RWHP..
buying the blower right off the bat might run you a tad bit more money, but shoudl EASILY push you to the 320-330 hp mark with stock everything else..
then, adding all those little bolt ons will be worth 3-4 X as much as they would be on a N/A car

RE: What Next?
i hear what you're saying...and it does make sense. however...this person is asking what he can do next for hp without going the s/c route. imo going for more bolt-ons would be the next step for more hp. not saving your money. ofcourse one of the best things about this site is you get many opinions, from many people...providing you (the thread starter/question asker) with plenty of options to choose from. =]

RE: What Next?
I would say gears and a tuner. If you just got a supercharger, of course you would be happy. You would also wish you did that first. Who wouldn't? The reason why everybody doesn't go straight to supercharging is because of money. At first, most people don't have enough money to go straight to F/I. This is why nitrous is a good cheap alternative.
