    X2 on taillights

    If I were to ever go force fed I'd go turbo. I make blow off valve noises when I shift anyway.

    On stock block, a supercharger would probably be a better choice since your limit is roughly around 450ish rwhp. A company called Torq Tech has been making the kit to mount the M112 blower off of the 03-04 Cobra's for a very reasonable price. Your choice of inter cooled or non inter cooled. For a "Quality" built turbo setup with forward facing headers and all of the goodies, your going to be double what you would have in a used eaton and the torq tech setup. If money is no object, go 4v, forged, and turbo!

    Welcome to SCS, not trying to be negative, like the car, just not the ricer accessory you inherited with it. It's your car go nuts!!!

    You could always back out boost with a turbo, and have the great power curve they produce without overdoing it. Plus you gotta compare apples to apples. No doubt a used anything will be cheaper than new. Hell, i've seen used D1 setups go for 2k with low miles.

    Depends on your goal for the car and pocket book. Turbo will ueild more power but will cost more bc the kits suck. You would be better off getting a custom built kit. Turbos also seem to be more in maintenance also. A twin screw on the street is a blast, it's what I have. But a TS is the most expensive of the blowers. A centri would be fun also and cheaper with really good power results.

    You need to figure out what you want the car to be and then go from there. Good Lpuck!

    Welcome aboard! Car looks very clean. Like was said - boost is addicting. My vote would be for a Kenne Bell or a procharger.
