Default bolt on or s/c.....?

well its just a daily car but i want more power....the thing is i dont know if i should do bolt on of s/c. If i get the s/c it will be about a year before i can do it where is if i do bolt ons i can get it faster. If i do bolt ons only im gonna spray it with maybe a 75 or 100 shot. What would you guyz do. Its a 01 GT with 27k miles....and im only 17 so money comes in slow...lol

Hey man, I'm 18 and face the same exact problems. Just when I think i'll have the money for a supercharger, but then something goes wrong. But it all depends on what you want. Personally I really want a supercharger, but I have problems telling myself it's ok to spend 3 grand at once just to make my car faster. I've thought about the nitrous route and still think about doing it. It's cheaper, but I dont exactly love the idea of nitrous. Whatever you decide you do, i'm sure you'lll be hapy with. Kyle

I'm thinking about that, because I'm sick of waiting for the super, and my car would be more original with bult ons and a cam, not just a supercharger. Careful with that 125 shot, maybe knock it down to 100 without a forged bottom end.

I want the most out of the spray. Ive heard you will be fine with a 125shot, just dont go any higher without a forged bottom end.
