I am looking to do a supercharger. Not looking to spend in excess of 5000.00 (excluding labor).

Any of you who have done a supercharger, I welcome your insight. What type of numbers you have achieved, your setup, anything additional.

I am 99.99992% sure there is not a new supercharger kit for the C5 $5000 or less. You can sometimes pick up a used one, usually an ATI P1SC kit, for about that. A P1SC on a stock C5 will get you around 450ish rwhp.
