    The best value supercharger kit for the VS is the L67 kit.

    heya mate i was thinking about doing the same thing to my V6 , but its a tad on the expensive side so im saving for my V8 =) but you can find some genuine or aftermarket ones in the paper if u look hard enough
    My Vs " Liberator 1" =)
    Side note : A V8 doesn't kill, the ######## driver who cant handle one does
    LOL!

    what kind of gains are you looking for?

    i would personally go for a positive displacement charger over a centrifugal.

    if i was going to do it i would either put an L67 in or get the top end from an L67 and put it on your bottom end. from there you can go to an M112 or a whipple if you want more power.

    Buy a complete l67 you'll flog any of those chargers listed with not much effort. and it'll only cost about 3 grand all up

    Best going whole l67 as they got a stronger bottom end.

    well im on my p plates so not so much gains that ill get yellow stickered.. just kidding.
    you know we all want the most power we can have, id be happy with high 100rwkw's or possibly 200rwkw? (im a dreamer)

    i heard that it isnt legal to put an older motor into a newer car (correct me if im wrong)

    Why go a raptor over l67? Kw are a theoretical number based on torque.

    There was a guy on here that had a raptor charged stroker that ran like a 13.4 prolly cost 15 grand

    A l67 with a few mode prolly going to cost about 5 grand would run deep into the 12's

    enough said

    I just got the exact same kit as the one your selling the difference is, is that I got mine for $855 as opposed to the price your asking, the price that you have on yours is very high for a used charger and considering brand new you can purchase one of these for $3760
