i'd save for a turbo over a supercharger, but thats just me
+1 and please don't think im trying to be an *** by posting a website for you to read instead of me telling you, i could tell you how it works short and sweet but its more benaficial (sp?) for you to read and get a better understanding of how your engine works as a whole considering you plan to start modding it.

What is a good site to buy cams and other engines things for the v6? I looked at steeda and most of their items are for 4.6 and 5.0

Is that a v6? I talked to some custom shops and they are charging like $3,500-$5,500 for supercharger and turbos to buy and instal. That is kind of exp. and they said i would only gain like 80 hp from the supercharger and mabe just mabe 100 for a turbo and that is after doing some other upgrades...I dont know what to do!!! lol... I want to go in order for the only thing i got is the dual flowmater (Xpipe) and Steeda cold air
Well turbos and supercharges aren't cheap at all those estimates are about right, all depending on what company you get and what come with the kit. But you can gain more from a supercharge and a turbocharger than those numbers you posted its all in the amount of boost you plan on running. Thats where upgrading your H/C/I and going forged internals comes in handy, it allows you to run more boost.

Honestly im not real sure i don't order a lot of things off line myself i go through my uncle and his shop, but check our sponsors at the top of the page and side of the page and see what you come up with.

So it would be smarter to upgrade H/C/I before i put a turbo/supercharger on right?

I never said he needed gears or an lsd, but first of all the gears are going to get him off the line quicker and get him into his power band faster than the stock gears and if you want to be stuck with the awful one wheel spin then be my guest lol

You don't have to it all depends on how much boost you want to run, on stock internals i believe 7-11(intercooled) psi is safe.

p.s. i know someones going to say oh well my buddy or this person i know is running (enter number) PSI through his stock engine and hasnt had any problems...YET. Im just being on the safe side. If im wrong with that number please correct me.

Oh another relatively cheap mod you can do (well cheap compared to what i listed earlier) is if your a manual invest in a short throw shifter, and if your automatic get a shift kit. Talk to jefferson about the shift kit where he got his shift kit and what brand to get.
