jcover, i would probably go for the supercharger as well, but dont forget about the installation cost. a good respectable place will charge over 1000-1500 or maybe more for it.

If I went that route I could install it myself. I am mechanically inclined. I jsut don't want to get it and my motor blow up because im putting to much power/stress on it.

the money you save for self installation, maybe you can get some parts forged..this way, ur motor wont blow up on you.

I'd definately get the blower! Just tone it down so your not stressing the engine.

In my opinion its not practical for me to do the forged parts at this time..... I can't have the car down for that long a period doing that, This is my daily driver untill i find a ~$1000 beater to drive to work.

i'd do visuals until you got money for forged internals. You might want to search the forums for s/c on the 05/06's, the outcome hasn't been the greatest. Also, what do you want to do with this car? That should be the deciding factor.

Glad I'm not in your shoes.

Good Luck with the tough decision.

Well after talking to a few VERY happy KenneBell owners that race their cars on the strip every weekend with drag radials putting out ~500RWHP. I think I would be find with KB safe tune putting out ~450RWHP @ 8PSi intercooled.

So looks like im going the KB route

Wooooo Buddy Can't wait.
