How to get best value?
Well I've been thinking of selling my FRC to get a Supra. It is a 99 w/ 60,000 miles. I've done heads and cam to it along with long tube headers. Also I've aquired a A&A Procharger kit minus the headunit.
So I'm wondering sell seperate or put on the kit with a d1sc I can get for about another 1500 along with a meth kit, OR try selling it seperate. Im worried people are scared to buy a boosted car these days.

Sell is separately. You'll NEVER get the added up value of the parts if they're sold on the car.

So are you guys saying even put the stock heads back on, I can get a supercharger on there for 1800 more dollars, I would think I would get alot more that way compared to completely stock.

These inputs are correct. When ANY car is modded, prospective buyers assume the car has been run hard -- possibly beaten to death. Stock is the way to go for maximum resale -- unless you find a trusting clone of yourself with exactly your taste. Selling your speed parts separately is potentially more profitable, easy and free with craigslist. Good luck on whatever you decide to do.

I agree with the above - take the things off the car and sell them separately. You'll get more out of them in most cases.
