Default super charger question

Powerdyne Supercharger BD-11A found a good deal, but has a small chip on a impellar, comes with 4.6 bracket MAF tubing and harmonic balencer, so id need a fuel pump 36# injectors and a tune and a belt, from what i can tell. Is this a good super charger unit? am i missing anything? should i be worried about anything?

How much is a "good deal" if it's anywhere near $1500 I would recommend that you do the $1500 vortech build. I'm not really familiar with powerdyne though so I cannot comment on the quality of it.

Dont know if its true... But everyone use to complain about them breaking up and sending metal shards into the motor??

But if it has a chip in it i would go away from it, Build the 1500-2k Dollar S/c Kit....

well thats why i was asking. when i say good deal, i mean 500 bucks or best offer, and i can get a new impellar off ebay for like 200 bucks. i think i still may do it, i just wont hook it up to a 3000 dollar short block lol
