Bout $2000 for the whole supercharger. Should give you about 10psi on the thing, should put you about 380-400hp range with a nicer intake, etc. You can easily get into the mid 400hp range with a Novi1000 and a little better mods.
Just a blower on a stock motor won't get anywhere near 380-400hp. 325 if your lucky.
I know that...^^^ Read that.
sorry, missed that part.

my question kinda got lost, but on a motor with 100k, would bumping it up to 350-380 hp with a blower without doing any other engine modifications be stressfull?
yes, are you going to brake anything? that depends on how you drive it, can it last another 100K miles? Yes but that depends on how you drive it too

If you don't run the **** out of it it will be fine. Like I said, I have 152K on my STOCK motor, blower and external bolt-ons only. Lasy dyno was 351 hp. I have since upgraded the mass air, injectors and put on an anderson power pipe. That should be good for another 20-30 hp. (getting dynoed again soon) Runs fine, no problems!!!

why dont you raise the limit you want to spend so you can make this easier
mostly because im 17 and have a crappy job. 2000 is a good 3 months pay. But since this is going to be a long term project anyways, say i was willing to spend $3000-3500 what would be the best way to go? or is that still not enough?

That i know already . Let me refraise that: What is the next step up from just a bolt on supercharger or is that the biggest hp boost for this engine?

oh yah and just so i know, what is the actualy base hp for this engine?

Yes, your going to learn no matter how much $$$ you spend...your going to have to squirl away even more cash for something else. And you can count on stuff breaking to. So, tally in mantinience prices to.
