That *is* a good price. What did you get for that $2400? (i.e. just the
supercharger itself, or did it come with all the hookups for oil, etc.) Did
you have to buy anything extra because of the supercharger? (i.e. oil cooler,
by-pass valves, ignition upgrades, etc?)
I'm just wondering how much money it would take to go from basically stock
to supercharged (while not putting undue stress on the engine). I had always
figured about $3500-4000, but if this can be done for down near $2500, I
might be able to do this sooner than I thought. (Its not anytime soon in
either case, but if it really is $1,000-$1,500 less, that's a lot more
manageable...)
Does Auburn Performance have a web site and/or catalog? I haven't seen
a Vortech for less than $2900. I wonder if the rest of their stuff is
as cheap? :-)
Thanks in advance for any info you can give me!
