Default Whats an affordable Supercharger setup?

used kits.....depends on the model, vortechs 5-6 psi kit new runs 1900.00 .......when you jump up to the 8-10 psi kit 3k pluss you'll need a supporting fuel management system ...used the kits run 60-70 % of that...s/c in good shape hold their value

For used setup I would defiantly go with a vortech s-trim. I put together my kit for around 2 grand, thats with upgraded pulleys, injectors, power pipe, maf and so on, Everything but a tune.

I also live in Canada and drive an sn95 both of which make things expensive.

If you look in the "pipe,boost, and juice" section of this forum there is a how to sticky for putting together a used vortech kit.

I pieced together my kit for the grand total of $2,170.00. This included, intercooler, injectors, head unit and all supporting parts. I did this while deployed to Afghnastain. So if I did it there you can most def do it. Takes three things: Patience, Time and most importantly, money on hand. Good luck!

Well if you're gonna run the stock fuel system then stay with a low boost vortech, paxton, or procharger kit.

Theres a great write up in the 'Pipes, Boost, and Juice' section on this site. Its stickied right on top. It'll save you a few bucks too.

I would be upgrading the fuel system. I was thinking somewhere in the Vortech realms... And prob around 8-9 psi.
