So I just started saveing up for some REAL mods, Im tired of a stockish engine, I know the 96gt's typically have like 215hp an dthat sucks and theres not much N/A you can do for cheap or less work to make them fast. So forget n/a Im going for boost. I dont want Nitrous Because of how harmfull it is and I dont wana have to refill a bottle and all that crap, allthough its really cheap I dont wana do it to my 100+k/miles car... car runs good still so I think a blower woul dbe ok on it, just dont wana temp danger with the No2.. So anyway what's the highest Psi I should run on a basically stockish car? like 6 or 7? And would it even be safe for me or would it make my engine decline alot faster? I dont wana do anything to hurt it or it's drivtrain etc. Also im trying to do this on a budget so maby a preused supercharger if I oculd find one, any suguestions on a certain brand I should keep my eye on that's good?

Thanks for any help and comments...


P.s
Unrelated question to this thread and should probally be in (TALK) but if my engine only puts out 215 HP how the hell did I beat a newish Honda S2000 that should have like 230HP with half the weight of my car.. (40-100+mph) I got it by like half a car lengh. or so.
