Im looking at recieving 4 grand if I went with the $1500 supercharger could i reliably take my car to 400+ rwhp for 4k? I gave up on the turbo way to much work for minimal gains

If you had $4k and did the $1500 s/c w/intercooler you would be ~400rwhp BUT that is taking into consideration that you have done the PI swap but from your sig it doesn't look like you have.

How about PI heads, cams and intake (or better) + whatever you have left over to go towards a s/c or nitrous?

The reason ive been holding of on the whole pi swap deal is cause i think my car already has it, the reason is because ive raced an 02 gt manual and a ram air, smoked both. And i dont get it is there anyway i can check to see if my car is pi swapped with out terring apart the motor,!

Take a day and pull the intake off, It's not hard and It will tell you without a doubt whether or not you've got pi heads/intake or just pi intake or npi stuff. Also does your car seem to pull all the way to 5800ish or does it seem to level out around 4500ish?
