Probably it'll cost them only around 5k and the other 5k in their pocket.

I believe its possible to just snap on a supercharger in our cars without internal mods or else the SRT-6 should have cost more than a 10k difference from our Limited if the mods they make are really intensive!

Cyril:
We all know that Kleemans makes a bolt on SC for our Xfires with 7lbs boast to give a 330 hp and then with thier chip 350 hp. On the other hand DC or should I say the MB supercharger is not a bolt on as we need internal mods. Kleemans stand by thier claim that the 350 hp is no problem for the stock engine or drive train, they say it a can handle 400 continuous foot lbs. of torque.
Henceforth, why can't DC drop thier boast to 7 lbs and make theirs a bolt on? I have been told that with the DC supercharger for our regular Xfires requires a new wiring harness to boot.
Life would be so easy if Kleemans just dropped the price of thier SC's.
We can dream!

Re: Finally, 168 MPH!!!!!

I had my previous car, a 2000 Contour SVT, up to 135 about 4x's, but came up on traffic and slowed down. I figure it like this, if your going to do something like this, be as safe as you can. This car is quicker than my previous car so maybe, just maybe, I'll be able to get up to the magic 150 quicker and be done with it!
