Wow that was helpful.


Anyway...if all you've got is $500? Save it.

#1, Electric superchargers are junk.

#2, you won't be able to do much with $500.

Spend it on some suspension upgrades if you really want to spend it. Otherwise it might buy you 1 or 2 hp.

Craigslist it. With my mustang and $500 i went on craigslist and found a used aem cold air intake for 75 bux, shorty headers (used) $120, aluminum driveshaft $120, and various other things for cheap. You just have to be patient and look around. Try posting a wanted ad on there also for what you want, thats if you dont mind used parts.
