I just saw a used KB with low miles on ebay. Current bid was about $1,800. I think the kit is in England, but even with shipping, that would be a great deal. Kit seemed complete with cooler and all.

ive spent 6k on my car and ive got 440rwhp with stock internals. if you got another block and forged internals it would bring it to around 10k and it would be over 500rwhp most likely. i did get my blower used though.....

RE: Time to supercharge and overhaul
With $10k to play with you could put that money to better use with a brand new 06 GSX-R1000 or ZX-10R (big bikes only 'if' you can ride)
!! Seriously, $10k in your car will feel like a waste of money if you ever try to line up against one of them. Or you could buy a 600 & put the other $2k into exhaust & a PC3R. You'd be raping 4 wheeled cages all day!
