Default SuperCharger???

I'm definitly considering S/C my vehicle...

what's the best bang for my buck...? and what's the most boost I can safely run? What support mods would I need (fuel pump, throttle body?)...

my goal is to have 450- 500rwhp...

Best bang for the buck would be a vortech mongoose kit. Call them up and ask if they can still hook you up since you're a 4v.

The only bad thing I've read about procharger is the issues with their seals. Some people say they've had leaking issues, others say it's a wet seal and that it only appears to be leaking. Procharger also has the lower (numerically higher) step up ratio which makes it kick in harder.

Touche. Tuner kits on www.joeblowracing.com for $2,500. If you can find a good tuner near you this is the best bang for the buck. E-bay all the other crap.

For 450-500 rwhp you better get a forged shortblock and I would get a D1-sc if I were you. Anything over 10lbs on a stock block probably isn't a good idea.

There are always good supercharger kits on ebay for 1/2 to 2/3 of their new price. I got mine on Ebay...all the stuff I got would have cost 6k or more and I got it for 2800

on a cobra.. i wouldnt run 10 psi.. that is almost pushing it... i would say a good 8-9 psi intercooled setup is what you need. with that 10:1 compression, 10 psi is alot..

I think you will find out when you acutally attempt to peice it all together its a great deal.

I got into this with a few other members, and in the end their experence proved me right..

Go price out the tuner kit, shipping, the handheld, the custom tuning, the dyno time (if you live close enough to drive to MPH its included in the price) the 42 lb/hr injectors, SVT pump, sparkplugs, fuel filter, lighting maf, and all the assorted other crap you need and if you can come out ahead it isn't by very far... and with the MPH kit you get the mongoose tune.

MPH ftw. For bang for the buck, and ultimate in saftey with a great tune, everything else is 2nd place.

edit: When I got my MPH kit it was 3905 to the door, with shipping. I didn't have to buy anything else for the kit other than a small part I broke while installing (my fault). You can literally take the 2-3 boxes they send you and put the sucker on without leaving the garage.

the biggest downfall of the mph kit is that it has no intercooler.
