I was digging around on car domain and i found a guy who supercharged his GLH, i was thinking that looked like a pretty good idea, i know the advantages and disadvantages of a supercharger over a turbo and if its worth the time and money id rather throw a supercharger on, it's just more of a muscle thing...
dont get my wrong i love to hear a turbo spool up and i love to sound of a bov but money is key and a turbo isnt in my budget, a supercharger may not be either but im willing to try it... i just want this car to be a little bit quicker, maybe run 15's yet i know if i rebuild it right and turbo it i could run 12's but maybe later after my budget is better...
so would it be cheaper? could i pretty much bolt it on? or would i have to tear down the engine? and rebuild it to handle the "boost" like if i were to do a turbo? if so ill wait and do the turbo...
i found this that looks quite appealing, well except for the price, but it still might be cheaper than turboing the car...
