Alright so here's my problem:
I'm a bit short on cash, and I basically have a spending limit. My original plan was to get an eaton M90 supercharger for $500 bucks off ebay (which went quite well), get someone to custom fabricate me an intake tube and plenum and install it. I ran into problems with the plenum, like I said before one guy said it's going to be really difficult and pricey and the other guy didn't even want to attempt it. So now I'm thinking I'm probably going to spend well over $2000 for installation of this supercharger. And the problem is, I have a stock motor and everything, and I don't know if it could handle 7 or 8 lbs of boost for a long time.
So I'm thinking either I could go ahead with my plan with the supercharger, or I could purchase a full exhaust (I already have the muffler, just need the piping), a bigger TB, MAF, chip, and a ZEX nitrous kit. What do you guys suggest me doing? I only have a seasonal job and I'm a full time student, so funds are limited here. You think my 4.0 OHV could handle a good 75 shot of nitrous along with those other mods? What about the tranny? Thanks everyone.
