Stage 2 and 3 kits get to 500+ HP but cost the same as another used car. IMHO supercharger = medium risk, high reward, high price. Feel free to disagree.
i agree with everything you said for the most part, good post.
its just the horsepower to dollar ratio with a supercharger is untouched by any other mod or group of mods in this car. i think the kits are a little pricy for a supercharger kit, but we lack alot of options here. so i guess i'll take it for what it is
