Default Which bolt ons should i get?????

I have $1900 and want to kno if i should save for supercharger or get bolt ons? Andersonfordmotorsport said it would be $2500 to intstall and tune which would put me out of range of getting a supercharger which i want is a procharger P-1sc.
If i get bolt ons what should i get and which brand?

I would keep saving for the supercharger because bolt-ons just don't provide much extra horsepower.
CAI=3-5 rwhp, wow
Catback= 3-5rwhp, wow
Throttlebody%plenum 6-8 rwhp, wow
underpulleys, 3-5 rwhp,wow
longtubeheaders, 10-15 rwhp, okay
gears, no hp, but worth it
Man, with all that wasted money you could buy your blower and really be in business doing 12s.

I don't know how many people I've heard say "270-290 horsepower with full bolt ons"

full bolt ons is alot of dough..

a blower on a 100% STOCK GT has got to make close, if not more than that. THEN.. all of your other bolt ons are gonna make huge gains

Yeah, I figured those numbers were on the high side. Those are all useless mods except the exhaust and gears.

"Bolt-on's"

What an over-used over-rated term on this forum. Go ahead and spend 2g's on "bolt-on's" and gain maybe 40rwhp.

Save another 2g's onFI and guarantee you'll pick up 100+ rwhp.
