Quit whining
Modding a N/A car is always more expensive then say modding a factory turbo car, anyway you slice it. Force induction for a N/A car is not for you unless you have the money to spend, if you don't, then don't even worry about it.

From what I got from the Stillen rep, the unit will add about 80 to 100 hp. He said the reason they could not fit it under the engine was because it has to bolt on to the manifold. He also hinted that a new manifold was in the kit. Personally, I think Stillen overcharges and I will probably just wait for Vortech to come out with a S/C. I have a Vortec Supercharger on my truck and it is great, it was very easy to install and they have helped me with any problems I had. I have not heard great reviews about Stillen.

I dont think thats to bad of a price. My Kenne Bell for my 2001 Dodge Dakota was $5000. And i did the install my self. You can see pics of it here: http://dakota.uberlame.com. I dont like the idea of having to buy a new hood tho. Numbers wise, im holding out too see what twin turbo's are going to be putting out.
On a side note, i love my supercharger, and im glad i chose it over a turbo. But thats for my truck, it needs the full boost at 2000 rpm, and a VERY flat tq. curve. The car on the other hand will be a different story. I cant wait to see how it plays out.

That minor difference made a difference in handling. Without the brace at all, I would expect the Z would handle very differently at high speed.
Not having the brace was a big boo boo.
