If you want power... Stillen's root charger is not the way to go.

Get the valve body upgrade for your auto tranny.

Id say cut back on the stillen, i was thinking like you at 1st too, as they are a great company but they don't give you the best performance, I'd say go with a k&n or injen intake which are both rated at 10+ hp and the stillen is i think 5 hp. I'd also recommend rs-r for the exhaust youtube it, it has a great sound and its loud and agressive. It's sure to scare the ricers right out of their pants lol. As borla is a good company rs-r is a little more hardcore and jdm. Go with a JIC magic or gtspec braces they have great looking finishes and they are great performers. I'd also say start working on the internals, if your running a stage 3 supercharger with no internals your soon going to find yourself stranded. Start with a big bore kit and connecting rods from tomei or hks. Also start working with an engine management system you'll get more out of your car. Like an hks f-con v pro or a greddy e-manage ultimate. I'd also go with some volk wheels or anything from Rays.

no i dont, its like 700$ and i dont know how much it will help.
and i got the supercharger 2 years ago and they didnt make a turbo kit for an automatic, that i knew of. I am pushing about 7lbs of bust, so its not that bad.

i dont know that is just what i heard. they say that manifold would hit the trans. i dont know a lot about this stuff but what do you think about fuel systems, throttle bodies, and grounding kit?
and about that stage three, is it that bad for your motor? i was just hoping that i didnt have to put a lot of money out for internals because that cams dont help the supercharger and i dont run nitrous.
