Supercharger Question
Hey guys. I think I'll be going with a supercharger setup...the turbo just seems like too much money and I think I'd have to go with a twin turbo setup if i went with a turbo and i just think thats going to add up to high....so I think I'll take the supercharger route....so for the next question what kind of supercharger is the best???..most reliable, highest increase in horsepower etc... thanks a bunch guys greatly appreciated

Fewest problems/greatest overall satisfaction seems to be with the East Coast Supercharging setup.
With turbos, same seems to be true of the TTix, if installed and tuned by the right person.

ECS makes good quality S/C kits and their customer service is top notch incase you need an answer during the install.
ask your question over the FI section and you will get plenty of feedback.

As for the original poster asking about superchargers, I think the ECS Novi 2000 setup is the nicest on the market. It has the best head-unit, easiest to maintain (uses engine oil so you don't have to fill the blower head-unit separately), makes excellent power, and appears to be much easier on the belts than ProChargers (probably because of the internal gear configuration).
The ECS kit is around $6,500 and that is complete with injectors and fuel pump. Chris or Doug from ECS (609)752-0321 can answer your technical questions.
Cheers,
Mark

Everything you need is included in the kit. You really don't need a cam, heads, long tube headers, etc to max out the stock bottom end.
