Depends on what you plan on using the car for - 1/4 mile, track or street?

7 k on Roe Supercharger $1600 for a set of headers from me of course, $6400 for future speeding tickets and cost of insurance increase when they find out about your tickets.
The normal wife rule is if you spend 15 she spends 30
Good luck

Does that come with HAZMAT stickers? Oh yeah, what kind of power can you expect the other 95% of the time you're driving the car? Just curious!

Maybe the S/C form Cragin or Roe. Headers. Tires. Lots of tires.

Gary,
Why flame? How many times would you be willing to loose in front of your friends before I ran out of nitrous? 15 back to back times maybe?? 95% of the time you are not at WOT either. But for inquiring minds we make over 500 RWHP naturally aspirated on all of our 9 second combinations. How much would yours make with the S/C belt off?????????????? LOL!!
BTW, the poster wanted to spend 15K, he can run mid 10's for about 6K

Sounds like a challenge to me! You're on! The good thing about S/C power is that it doesn't matter if I'm WOT or not, I've got BIG power all through the RPM range.
Also, the difference for me is I don't have to get out of my car to put the S/C belt on every time I want to race.
How many states is your BTR package legal in? (My guess is ZERO!)

Gary,
State Legal?? Nitrous is not illegal in any state that I know of and is marketed by thousands of distributors worldwide. What happens if you need to replace a broken part? I don't have to get out of my car for anything, but your whole existance is based upon a fan belt.
I'm ready whenever you are, come on down to Florida where the winter time weather is good and bring your own helmet. You talk the talk, I expect you to walk the walk. Enough words have been spoken! I will be awaiting your arrival. Have a great day.

Silly pilot! I have 3000 miles on my Heffner S/C setup and I haven't even had to tighten the belt (Jason has this super trick belt tensioner system!) I think you have your tuners mixed up! (Note to self: Calculate the number of times Tom has to refill his NOS bottle in 3000 miles to make the kind of power I make full time).
I accept your challenge and would be happy to come down to Florida to run 15 back-to-back races (you better bring some Unitrax halfshafts, know what I mean?)
p.s. C'mon Tom, everybody knows you want to upgrade to a supercharged Viper. It's really ok!

Gary,
With over 200 passes on my original HD halfshafts with no problems, I can only question your driving skills! I'm sure you will put them to the test in our side-by-side contest...
Enough talking, come on down, I will even pay your track admission and buy you dinner. The weather is great, this could be lots of fun (especially when you get your spanking delivered 15 or more times..LOL)
On a side note, I have not heard of any of Jasons S/C kits slinging belts, and as a matter of fact have heard nothing but good stuff about his gig. You can't make everyone happy and we all including Jason have our Gary A's. As for BTR and S/C we are in fact going to introduce a S/C setup with one of the most respected names in the Supercharger business and will be doing that early next year. No more info at this time other than to say that power levels will be in line with every one else and this system will be used in conjunction with our already successful nitrous systems.
See you soon..

How about 700+ intercooled, supercharged, there all the time rear wheel horsepower? With the potential to upgrade later to well over 800 rwhp. Have fun. (Just call Jason Heffner at 410 766-2800)

all that for 15K?????
