I am leaning towards doing the visual stuff, but I have always wanted a KB and this is probally my best chance to drop the cash on one, what would you do if you where in my shoes.... BTW please don't make any sugestions to sustitute things in my list, I like the items I have chosen unless you know of a place that has some 18" Saleen or Cobra Chrome Wheels I can put on my car that will fit a 275/40 tire fine.

If I go the visual Mod Route It will be a few months but I will get some more bolt on performance parts (Underdrives. Long Tubes/Off-Road H-Pipe, Carbon Fiber Driveshaft, Electric WaterPump, Custom Tune, Pretty Much all the bolt ons hopefully getting me close to 350 RWHP. If I go the KB route It will be the last/only performance mod other than the axlebacks.


Thanks for your time,

I would go with the blower. Now is probably the only time you'll have to lay down that big expense. In time to come you can start to add items one at a time as the years go by. You can't do a blower a little at a time.
That's my thought...

I think that W1lkcat said it right. The blower is a big chunk of change at one time, and you can't spread it out. You have to pay the whole thing at once. I would do the blower if you have the money only because you can do the other appearance mods a little at a time over the next several moths. $100 here, $200 there. Otherwise, you'll never get that kind of dough together again.

It's a no-brainer, go with stuff, not fluff. Get the supercharger.

Well when I jsut asked about putting on a KB supercharger I was told that my driveshaft wouldn't hold up and neither would the motor.

How true do you think this is with KB tune and the 9PSI intercooled 450rwhp kit? Or should I stick with the non-intercooled 5-6PSI kit with 400-415RWHP?

I don't want to gernade my motor send I wouldnt have a warranty on it anymore........ But if people think it can stand up to it.... What about getting all the power down, will the stock suspension/tires do it?

Thanks,
Josh

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.
