Did you intercool it? What did you do for fuel/MAF upgrades?
No it is not intercooled. and i used a focus svt pump and a lightning 90mm MAF

here is my 2 cents a supercharger or turbo is a awesome investment and if you have the money well worth the investment, the power is always there and is going to be alot of fun to drive. on the other hand a well built and put together car with bolt ons is more impressive in my book reason being everyone knows that a supercharged car is fast but when you can beat someone with bolt ons even better bragging rights. with the mods listed in my sig my car runs a 13.4 in the quarter on the motor and a 12.2 on bottle with a 125 shot. and the arguement of you run out of spray if you go nitrous route is true but you shouldn't be racing on the steet anyway, very dangerous for you and the rest of the world and illegal.

And the OP isnt building a track car so why would he need spray? The supercharger will be perfect for him.

i am not saying that a supercharger is bad i am just saying imo i think that a built motor is more impressive and no i havent ever used the bottle on the street. i keep serious racing to the track i have seen the dangers and consequences first hand. do i jump on it and mess with people yes but only if it safe and no one is in danger. i don't discourage racing just be smart when you do it. you and the person you are running against are not the only ones on the road. supercharger or motor on spray either way is a good way to go just don't rice out your car with oversized body kits and underglow lights.
