I am. I was thinking if I lift there will be power loss, am i correct? Well whats better way to get back that power than with a supercharger(aside from straping a jet engine on the bed)

One thing to definitely consider is gearing the rear for the extra grunt of a SC after lifting. The tranny will not last at all if you don't help it out with gearing with the extra weight of the lift and wheel/tire.

It will be available for purchase seperately, I can't remember if a price was mentioned but I know it's going to be well over 5k. Kenne Bell's is not out yet for the 3v.

I talked to KB last week and they have no idea when or if it is going to be released. Problems with the ecu along with other priorities.

Check his other posts, he's either drunk or his keyboard is rebelling.

As for the KB, as AnaheimDrew said, they have a prototype but it is still very much in the R&D stages right now.

As for Saleen, I always thought of him as more show than go. His shop isn't too far from where I grew up and I know lots of people that worked there (even my fiance) and they have some horror stories about the production quality.

If I had the means and justification I'd go with the Whipple. Now there's a charger for you!
