Hey, if you're not engine savvy, supercharger is the way to go. If you're
stupid enough to pop a 200hp shot on a brand new bone stock engine, you get
what you deserve. Superchargers dont let you do that.
Its alot harder to be greedy when you have to change pulleys and such.
Those crazy dragsters dont have those kevlar hold down straps to hold the
superchargers down for no reason. ;)
