Default In the market for a supercharger.

I am not starting one of those threads, maybe next spring, I have the money to spend right now. I have been doing some research and taking a little bit of time. Here are a few prospects, open to all suggestions...

if you have the money, i would do the KB, but thats just me. My second choice would be the second one you posted, the rebuilt one.

Or you could take the time to piece one together, I've been seeing an abundance of used head units for sale lately or atleast around my area. Probably end up saving a lot of money doing this.

I do about every half hour, ha. Never check in other areas though, for some reason trust members of a forum to ship more than someone of craigslist.

Are you only in the market for a vortech kit? I am looking at selling my procharger kit, I've got brackets to fit a coilpack setup and 99-04 setup.

from the options that you posted i would go with either of the top 2 (the v-3 or v-2). V-3 is more expensive but its brand new and you wont have to tap into the oil pan for the oil drain. V-2 just saves you about a grand....i like how both come with 42lb injectors and a 90mm maf, im stuck at 330hp cause i didnt get one of those =(.

So the v3 has self contained oil or whatever? I would assume that would make it a little bit of an easier install correct? Kinda would like to install myself.

yes the v-3 is self contained so there is no need to modify your existing oiling system.

craigslist, I see'm on there every week, start checking outside of just your area, do the surrounding states aswell. Saw a couple on ebay the other week, they were gone like that though, most will be, if you find one, you have to pull the trigger quick b/c they will be gone.

also I've seen a few on this site:
