I need to count, we have like 20-25 cores right now already but slow coming in. That's fine and all as they've paid the core charge, but it has slowed things down. I'll have everyone caught up on the next batch though.

I'd say that's the best/biggest part - that throttle hesitation is essentially gone.
If you have an auto, a tune also comes into play, but I noticed the effects of a ported TB and intake manifold immediately with a blower (which would make it nearly impossible to feel a small 10-20hp gain at 600whp).
Glad you're finally getting it - I know it sucks to have to wait for overseas deliveries. I couldn't do it (the waiting), especially on car parts - I'm too impatient.

What upgrades do you recommend?
Im thinking of the a&a supercharger,but other than that?
I have mids & a filter,tb on its way
I dont want cat backs as they need the cutting & welding of the nnp
Any other things to gain hp easily & quick without the hassle

If you have NPP and want a catback, the B&B Fusion is plug and play - no cutting or welding of NPP or the midpipes.
An A&A or ECS supercharger is a great upgrade, and I think you'd be thrilled with the power output. These cars boosted are a ton of fun!

The installs aren't bad for a qualified shop. Just have to have the correct tools for the A&A (puller, etc). But it's really not bad.
I did the ECS half-crippled in my garage (nevermind that it took me so long, I could knock it out in two days now) on ramps, so they're not nearly as bad as they seem.
The tuning is the most important parts about SC kits, as I'm sure everyone will agree with.
