I'm wondering where I'd be able to get a cheap supercharger (under a grand would be great) that I'd be able to just bolt on and go with. I'm just looking for something to give me atleast 300rwhp and to learn with.. Nothing to kill myself with
Trying to find a supercharger kit for under $1000 is a pipe dream....you'll spend at least twice that and probably not get the same gains as you would with a 125 shot.
basically what everyone else said...you arent gonna find a reliable supercharger for under a grand..the cheapest ive come across are the powerdyne kits (which i have for my stang)...u can get brand new kits on ebay for about 1700. but powerdyne are considered at the bottom of the list of SC's but they are easier to install then the rest from what i have heard (self contained system and no tapping the oil pan). if i were you, like I should have done, was save up for a Procharger w/intercooler kit or a Kenne Bell Roots...also depending if your car is standard or auto, you're better off with a centri SC if you have a standard and roots/twin screw for your auto...just my opinion.
I got my Powerdyne for under a grand. Have had it on for a year with no problems at all. If you are patience you can get one. There was a Vortec on Ebay last week that went for $1350 & another one that did not sell for $1500. Will need a larger fuel pump. You can run with a FMU with no problems, not the best or does not make the most power.
