Default changing my mind about supercharger

idk what to do a supercharger would be boss as hell but idk if i want the hassle that goes along with it, changing all the oils all the time, risk of causeing serious harm to my engine, this is my daill driver and if sumthing happens to it im SCREWED i dont have money for another car or to fix it for that matter. i think i might just do some suspension mods maybe build the rear and put a pair of slicks on, and some more bolt ons maybe swapping in a new more aggressive cam, idk give me your opinions and suggestions on what parts to get for suspension and everything else i listed.
thanks guys

86k miles on my engine and 20k on the blower. no problems since the install, oh just a couple belts and a pulley go bad thats it.

my tranny died but i saved up knowing it wasnt gonna make it.

if you get a blower other things besides the motor may break.

I wouldn't worry about putting a supercharger on. As long as you get it tuned and don't go crazy w/ boost, you should be fine.
As for suspension, stick w/ Maximum Motorsports RLCA, drop springs w/ matching struts/shocks, CC plates and upgrade the front to full poly bushings. That should be a good start.

i have a auto, i didnt take care of it. it overheated a few times and i never really changed the fluid on it. now i got a built tranny, bigger pan, and a big tranny cooler on it.

manuals and autos are way different. you will prolly kill your (stock) clutch but thats about it. thats even if you still have it.

Sounds like you need to buy a beater car.

Boost is only on for a small part of your driving. I have had no problem with mine.
