I gained 200 rwhp with a supercharger installed by Andy at A&A. To me this is the most economic and quickest way to gain substantial hp. Great job, Andy!

You can get lots of HP with a supercharger. Would love to have one myself, but budget just doesn't allow. Also, a head/cam/header install would give you some definite increases.
