i knew i wanted to do a supercharger. they seem to have better reliability from what i've heard and easier to maintain. Stillen had a pretty good setup that seemed very compatible for daily driving which is what i would be doing.

Haven't heard that name come up in a long time for SC. Does it still require a new hood?

the shop told me around 500 at the crank. with 10% loss through the driveshaft, on the conservative side, im expecting around 430-440 hp.
