Supercharge? or Naturally Aspirated (Mods)?
The question is in the title.
What are the negatives of Supercharging?
Modding out a car is pretty expensive either way I was just wondering which is better? (I guess)
and how does the Supercharger work? what else would I need to buy with it so my car would be able to handle it? or can i mix it up with mods and a supercharger? or does it have to be one or the other?
(btw this is just so i can know not doing any of this any time soon)

Depends on what your priorities are. If it is flat out speed, then go with a supercharger. A few things to MAKE SURE you do when you do this. Allow extra time and money to fine tune your system. Most importantly, with the extra speed comes the responsibility to stop too. So an upgrade to your brakes is mandatory. Brake lines, fluid, BBK etc. Also, you will need to attend to any issues to your engine due to mileage. Get all of your maintenance done and out of the way. Gaskets, vacuum lines, everything!
Have fun!!!

After all is said and done including supercharger, upgrades, maintenance, I'm sure you'll be running upwards of $6-8k at a minimum, not including labor.

It's not the car you drive, it's how you drive it.

I say boosted is your best power per dollar ratio. If you try going the N/A route you will pick up 30whp max and spend close to $4k. at that point I would do a turbo kit or supercharger.

I really like my supercharger. However, I'll actually be taking it off. The supercharger is great, but as a DD, I had to weigh longevity vs. speed and longevity won out at this point.
That said, the SC is amazing, smooth and F*&$%!@ fast. 300rwhp is a 4door M3...not bad!

When you're getting ready to pull off the SC, let me know.Originally Posted by 04ZHP_PDX
Not necessary at all.
Good brake pads are all you need. Your rotors have plenty of power to brake. The issue isn't there. And the "drilled" and "slotted" rotors make zero difference unless you are doing 3 laps in a row all the time at a high braking course.
Let me know also.
VERY interested. VERY.

Okay so I was wondering if like I can have a afe intake and also be s/c? Or like have eBay headers and random tech cat? Evo pullys? Can I have all of that while also having a s/cer in a ZHP?
or does it have to be one or the other?
