I would really like to get your opinion as to why.

I came across the following for $2000:

Powerdyne Supercharger kit for 96-99 Dodge Dakota V8 (318-360ci).Kit has
less than 150 miles on it, like brand new.Kit includes a Satin finish
compressor,6PSI pulley,inline fuel pump, fuel management unit,K&N air
filter, and all needed hardware.Extras include a 9PSI pulley,MSD boost
retard,correct sized belt,160 degree thermostat,Autometer gaugepod with
white faced boost gauge and Air/Fuel gauge,and a NA Motorsport By-Pass valve
already installed.

Is it worth it? Or am I wasting my time with this. What is a "bypass valve"?
