In Reply To calling all n/a's!!!!! posted by ZenthuZiast on February 25, 2003 at 01:03 AM

Message Cost is the most important factor.
Yes it would be great to add more horsies to the N/A, but it is an N/A afterall.
IMO, I'd honestly rather put a big chunk of money towards a conversion.
If the cost to add supercharger to the N/A wasn't over the top, then I would certainly be interested.
I suppose I am a little jaded though after experiencing proper boost, I have a feeling that a supercharger won't satisfy that craving.
Nonetheless, I'm interested......even if it might only be a temp setup.
