Default Re: Found a reasonable priced Supercharger kit

I am very tempted by this kit since I wouldn't have to worry about labor. 288 HP wasn't quite as much as I was hoping for but some of you seem to think this would make for a very nice car. One thing they did tell me on the phone was that because of the design, an intercooler is not possible which limits boost and HP. Another option I am considering is using a Rotrex super charger mounted to the front of the engine on the upper passenger side. Relocating the header tank would give gobs of room. Mounting the supercharger here would allow for an intercooler and hopefully better performance. I am working on a budget to do this myself and will weigh it against this kit.
Spent only about 30 minutes researching and found some supercharger model #'s and info for you to review. These were all shown to be able to work with this engine by M/B and I have their model # info and did some cross referencing to the aftermarket counterparts.

I will begin the heavy data-mining this week and will begin making the database for our records. I will try and find any data about our cars and then put the data through a verification process and then input into the database.
