Well thats was kinda my point, i was saying it as when I do exhaust, ill do the full deal, but when should I have that on a list? The problem is, I dont want to buy a midpipe, just to sell it a year later for a LT mid pipe. If that means pushing back exhaust, thats ok with me.

We (Me and Duplox) actually priced out a used kit for supercharger. It came to about 1.7k. It involved buying a used headunit for about $900. All the piping would have been custom done for it by Duplox. I then had to buy injectors, fuel pumps, ect... We estimated it to about 400rwhp. The only problem is, he lives far from me. And I think it would be very hard to ship him the headunit, while he goes around near him looking for someone to let him under the hood for a 99+. If duplox couldnt be the man for the job, we are looking at anouther price increase, due to no one around here would "hook me up" like he could. That 1.7 also left out certain things like dyno tuning...Also id like to say I could install it myself, but im pretty sure it would cost me over 1k to get it installed.

It would be much harder (and costly) to get 400hp from a N/A engine. However, many of the small things I could have done myself. I would have been able to do almost everything (with a buddy) minus gears and LT headers.

Like I said, im back to the drawing table on what to do, unfortunatly I have been here to long.
