Check out the Mongoose kits.

be prepared to spend 5+ grand for a superchrager kit after everything is said and done (tune, dyno, guages, etc)

IMO you should buy some gears, and SCT Xcal 2....then start saving your money, and while doing that, research and read up on everything that has to do with forced induction..then when you are educated get the blower (supercharger)

how about you define your budget for us. Otherwise a fight will probably start soon.

I always say brakes are the best first upgrade. You want to add go, add some whoa first. It's easy to go fast, stopping in time usually takes planning ahead and preparation.
