Well, it only takes a few minutes to bolt in a supercharger (assuming all the piping is already installed) and I would hope for more than 25hp out of a Paxton. . . lol Just stirring the pot.

Headers are definitely the way to go. I haven't done roller rockers yet, but they can be had pretty cheap. How hard are they to swap? I'm talking how many hours/six packs will it take to get the job done?

"Bolt-on" is a misnomer in itself, and "Bolt on 25 HP in minutes" is a ******* lie.

headers aren't to bad to do honestly, i'd put away a weekend on reserve for it though. couldn't take longer than that assuming you don't strip a manifold bolt/ break it off inside the head, then you'll need to put away a week!!! lol

but really do headers. best bang for the buck here.

My headers and gears gave me the biggest gains. I'd say do the headers before anything. You learn a lot about your car being under it half a day. lol

you wont get much power but the car will run better with a MSD box or the whole kit. Also on cheap over looked mod is the Air foil (air charger) It does really help.
