right choice on the kind of supercharger...wrong choice on where to buy it...

RPM is ****...so i have heard.

They may be cheaper but you wont get good customer service and such like that.

Find a local distributor or find another online distributor to buy it from.

ATi comes intercooled so you dont need to buy one. There good kits and make awsome power.

And the buy a GT,v8 etc... crap isnt allowed here.

idk spike, i think he wasn't exactly trying to bash 6's, more like he was offering an alternative to the guys choice... to answer his Q i'd think the motor swap in the end would be more expensive then the pwr addr. and a few more mods to the car.

with a blower you will only be using 93 as it will help it from getting detonation. So if you dont want to do that a power adder isnt for you.

yea in the end ur gonna pay what, 20cents more a gal. which works out about $3 more each time ya fill up from dead empty (15gal tank). so about $156 more a yr if ya get gas once a week. so if the deciding factor is ohh i don't wanna waste money on premium, it's not all that much more. yea 150 bux is a lot, but spread over a yr, i'm sure u'll have more pocket change saved up then that in a yr.

If you are looking for a reliable place for a Procharger, look on www.vmptuning.com. Justin has a lot of experience with 3.8's and there is even an option for the kit to come with a x-cal loaded with a base tune.
