here is a better suggestion

talk to Justin Starkey at www.vmptuning.com

he carries procharger systems and all the SCT tuning and fuel upgrades needed.

tell him cobra232 suggested him to you

look on ebay...ive seen vortech kits everything except fuel upgrades i think for about 2600 dollars....VMPTuning is costing ya 4150 dollars even tho it looks pretty convincing that VMP Tuning is good...thats another 1400 dollars on it...ur choice tho...Procharger=self-contained oil and Vortech=cheaper...ur choice

If you are going to get supercharged be sure you know who you are buying from if its used....or new would technically be best for your car, but whatever you can get should work hopefully.

Now I know Justin Starkey knows his stuff at VMP but when you put a blower on your car is ALWAYS recommended that you go to an actual DYNO SHOP to DYNO TUNE your car. Getting a mail order tune sent is NEVER EVER the same as an in house dyno tune. See mail order they have to basically use a program they used for another car, but remember that cars read differently....just bc another 02 read that it needed more fuel doesn't mean yours really will so your tune will make you drive the car, but you ALWAYS should go to an in house dyno tune to get the car running perfectly.

If you have any questions let me know...I have rebuilt the V6 block, supercharged it, etc and gone through ALLLLL the headaches you can really go through lol (believe me there WILL be headaches)

I can vouch for not relying totally on mail order tunes...I had to go through 3 tunes for the same engine code before I found one that responded well to my engine.
