Superchargers can be a real pain on cars that get driven much. I would rather put that money into cyl heads and a rotating assembly that makes more power. An 8000 rpm 13.5:1 motor is a bunch of fun, if you don't mind the price of race gas. Putting boost on a motor, without low comp pistons or knock sensor, you should be using the good gas anyway. If you are not a fabricator, you will spend lots of money having all those little custom goodies made for the blower install.
