Ive been lookin at the 1500$ one. It looks like a great way to go if you're on a budget! Just depends if u want a centri or twinscrew.

Go the the boost and pipes section and there is a sticky on it. All the info is there. All the parts are available on superchargersonline.com. Except for the headunit.

I have supercharged a 4.6 with 88,000 miles on it at the time. It now has 120,000 miles on it. It has been at 415rwhp for the last 3 years with not a single problem.

Don't fear the boost fear a ****ty tuner. As long as your tune is right you can run between 400 and 450rwhp until the wheels fall off the car.

No not at all. If you can do it yourself then do it. But me (being knowledable about cars, just not mechanically capable lol) would take it to a speed shop.

The parts list is easy.
Bracket assembly
Head unit
oil feed and return lines
bypass valve
piping

Depending on how good of a deal you find on a head unit it can be done for under $1000.
