I would have to say augmentation, Why?
Because is she isn't happy you won't be happy,
Buy ***** this year and a SC next year, Don't know how long you 2 have been together, But she deserves MODS also.
Just my opinion.

I mostly agree - except I would make the decision and tell her that she can have her *****. If she, at some poin,t gets cold feet and backs out then get your blower. If she goes thru and gets the augmentation then she will help and encourage you to get your supercharger. Either way, Momma is happy and you get points for being unselfish. Even though, choice A and B both benefit you.

any man that chooses a 10 year old car over a woman is not right in the head. as much as i love my C5 and my C3 and my 68 mustang and my motorcycles. if my wife said to get rid of them they would be burning pools of fiberglass and metal in the driveway. 50 years from now id rather still have my wife happy than a car.

well, I was lucky enough to do both.
my wife and I are 38, and have been together since we were 17. She's been very understanding with my car habits over the years, and she asks for very little.
When she expressed her interest about enhancements a couple of years ago, i was pretty shocked because she's very conservative.
I did everything i could to make sure she got what she wanted (these things are for woman guys, they aren't for us). I delayed any plans i had for my car.
Fast forward to this year, and i just had the Z to ESC for a Novi1500, clutch and some other odds and ends (591whp, 531wtq).
For me, it was a no brainer to take care of her first. she's not into cars at all, so any money i spend on my car is really just for my enjoyment.

She'll be so happy with the Augmentation that you will shortly or soon thereafter get the Supercharger = Win, Win situation! Not matter how you look at it!
And believe me she will be very happy and so will you!
I know!
Thanks,Matt
