    apparently you can get a cheap second hand jap supercharger for a 4 cylinder engine and it will run on a V6 as is, no engine work required, apart from installing the charger of course.

    I have a couple of car magazines with a two part article on how to do it, so i know it can be done without spending too much $$$.

    I would have looked into one for myself, but they're not beefy enough to be any good on a eight.
    I'd rather push my Holden than drive a Ford

    How much do they A. cost to buy and B. cost to install (yourself and professionally)?
    Just a rough estimate would be great
