I am getting a vortech supercharger kit but I am not sure if i should spend 500 dollars more for the polish finish. Are there significant differences between the polished and the satin finish.

If you want bling, go for it. 500 bucks can be used more wisely though.

dont pay for polishing, 500 bucks is a lot of money for some sanding/buffing

Get the Satin one and use the $500 towards some cams.

Polish is just for looks. Just like the chrome CAI that pretty much actually hurt performance from soaking up the heat.

you dont need polished to impress, a supercharger should impress people just fine...
