ok.Question about a procharger.
Now,my 01 is fully stock.Im going to put corsa indys on with the bassani xpipe.I want to get alot more hp then what i have now,the problem is,i dont know much about putting a cam in or intake manafold and so on to get the hp i want.It would be nice if i had around 450 hp.If i get the procharger,would i really notice a big differents.Im pretty amazed about my 350 hp now stock.Would be mice if i can feel 100 hp or more.I dont drag or race.Just want to play with it alittle to see what i can do with it.forgot to mention im also putting a vararam intake on soon.I did my research here and everyone seems to be pleased about the vararam.Can someone help me.......Thanks....

I dont have a supercharger but you will feel 100hp, it would make a huge difference. Heck 40 or 50 make a big difference. Do you want to install it your self? It may not be much easier than H/C. Post in the FI/Nitrous (FI = Forced Induction = Turbo/supercharger) they can really tell you everything.
You may be happy with just the Vararam + Long tube header + cat back + tune to start with. They should get you around 50 hp (maybe a little more).

On your stock motor you don't need a cam head work.Headers plus hi- flows etc with a procharger and some meth you can run a safe 6-8 psi and achieve a safe 550rwhp.I would start like that then your future could be forged with cam/heads turn up the boost 750rwhp safe.

"meth" stands for methanol and is used to reduce the temp and boost octane of fuel mixture to prevent pre-detonation of fuel and air mix.
The stock pistons are not forged and do not take well to detonation.
If you are interested in a supercharger do some research over in the Forced Induction section. There are lots of people making 500+ rwhp with stock motors and some form of forced induction (FI).
One thing you need to be made aware of though is your stock drivetrain will need to be upgraded.
