Default Worth it?

I was wandering about ebaymotors and spotted this auction. I was just wondering your opinion on it...im not really considering getting it at this point..but if its really worth it..i could try to steal it at the last minute, im a pro at pissing people off because of that..

takes way to much time and money to make it work and power gains arent that great either if you want a supercharger do it right! go with procharger or go to 3.8mustang.com's forums and ask pete about his powerdyne kit!! (complete kit)

yea..i figured that, plus it looks really dirty and like some of it might fall off during the drive...i think a supercharger would be a dream come true, but i dont see it happening unless i rob a bank or i win the lottery, or my parents loan me 3000 bucks....pocket change

well actually those supercharger aren't that bad, you just need to P&P the a little. But that picture is missing ALOT of stuff. To actually get the things to work right, you'd need the raditor and and bracket, and some other big stuff. A Vortech or Procharger i think is the best way to go if you ask me, but they cost WAY too much.

Well, if you can get it for 500 bux, it's a good deal. It will give you around 70-80 HP's to the wheels. But you better be some what machanicaly inclined, because it's a bishh to install it.
