You need to define the word "best" A&A and ECS are the top two companies that make awesome kits. The each offer different head units but the end result is going to be a fast car. You need to do your homework and talk to both of them, as they will be better to answer your questions and meet your goals!

Yes! it is good, definetely do a Centrifugal Supercharger - you will be happy you did!

A&A is one of the best there is for a complete kit and results - they use a Vortech head unit and it is awesome - call Andy or Steve and talk with them on this and they will get you going !

Your Auto (A4) will be fine, just make sure the tuner tunes in the tranny too! or makes necessary adjustments to it too!

Thanks,Matt

S/C, tune and clutch, installed, was a little over 10k. Since you do not need the clutch, you might be looking at about 7k.

Vendors on this forum run specials on a&a kit installed an tuned around $6500.
I just got mine back 2 weeks. Ended up spending $10,000 cause I got lots of extras with it.

I have my old centri setup for sale: V-2 Si head unit that made 450+ on a stock 97 motor with 142K miles.....just imagine what it could do on a younger motor.

I am very happy with my A&A set-up. It was one of the first that Andy developed back in 2003. 580 rwhp and very reliable! Driven back to Bowling Green twice!

A&A and ECS definitely two of the best. I had Andy at A&A do my vert. They had a sale on, but I had them do more so cost was over $8,000. Huffer produces good power, easy to drive.
