I'm looking to get a little more power out of my N/A, and I've narrowed it to these two options. I don't want to get a turbo because I'd rather be more unique, plus I'm not looking for a lot of power.

With a supercharger I'd be looking to do a cheaper set-up with a used charger and have a shop make the brackets and stuff. I'd probably want to run about 5 psi with that.

For a port job, I'd want to do a bridge on the aux ports, and street port the rest of the stuff.

Which one would cost more (including all support mods), and which one would yield more power?

.... do both!



sc would cost more since the unit is relatively...expensive

I would do both, but I only make $350 a week. Damn good for a 17 y/o, but still not a whole lot of money.

How much more would the s/c cost? I'm looking for a good condition used one, not a new one.

Do both and use a sprintex supercharger at 7 psi

Get the streetport first then drop in the supercharger when you get more money.

If you're on a budget, you may want to consider a 50 shot wet kit.. check out the nitrous write up in the FAQ section.

I would do port/rebuild first if it were me.

right, then you could add on the SC when you get the funds, or choose not to. problem solved!
