All in all garanteed cost less than that overpriced crap supercharger setup from blitz.
Superchargers are cool and all but seriously? 3k for 30hp..... not a smart investment on this car.
I will disagree, most boost applications I have tried have been about $100 per whp. I know there are cheaper ways to do it -- that's not the point I'm trying to make.

Holy crap - let's all play nice here - remember aloha spirit!

I recognize the name Devin, is that his name on the forum? Thanks for the help Gwasabi, it looks like this would be do-able.

Now I have heard of the magical no. 6 pounds of pressure but what about using a bit less like 4 or 5? Could this a potentially less problematic amount of boost? My goal is not to have to mess with the engine internals.

Any help with good local resouces for parts or reliable online sources would be greatly appreciated.

Anyone else on the island want to build one with me? We could even possibliy build two at the same time. I have a nice big 4 car garage we can use!
