Planning on a supercharger

Ok, so I've decided that i want to go FI, and i want to go the supercharger route.

Now, I don't have the money to do so yet, but i want to start heading in that direction, and wanted advice as to what mods to start with, and what would be a waste when i'm going supercharged

really, the only power mods that will transfer over is a full exhaust, 2.5" at most for the catback, and the downpipe can be any size. Personally, i'd just start collecting parts. theres a member on here selling all the required parts for $700

^^^Not if he is going blower, he can do all mods aside from intake, get an agressive blower cam(s) and build the engine to make the kinda power he wants.

it looks to me like he isnt planning on spending a lot of money, so i didnt bother with listing all the mods, because like you said, ALL mods are possible except intake...

if your looking for a cheap route... get all stock parts first... then swap em out later when you do more research but primarily id get all the parts to get s/c first... then swap them out for aftermarket one by one

Speed Mafia doesn't offer a Vortech blower

your choices with going supercharged are using the LSJ Eaton or the Procharger from Speed Mafia

only problem with the Procharger setup is that its double the price for arguably the same/less power potential.
