how much would these parts generally cost? as boona15 said it costs about $7k for a capa kit and about $4500 for a yella terra. looks like i will need a fair bit of cash behind me to do this. I am lookin for a Cam and chip same ones that are in the 215i senator not having much luck though

depends if you buy the kit new or 2nd hand man. but yeah you will be lookin at between 5-10k (all setup) depending on condition of your kit. but the prices vary on the brand, whether its gear driven or centrifigual/belt driven etc

depending on how much boost you are going to be running you may want to fit forged pistons in too to save you later when you up the psi., but if you keep the psi between 5 - 8psi roughly, you should be fine and wont need pistons.. stock bottom end will do.. just like mine.

VX S Pac 2001 Series 2 - Supercharged
Supercharged V8?

I've heard supercharged VS 8s are off their nut, although for that amount of performance, and the price, wouldn't you be better off trading in your current beast and upgrading to a VX Gen3 V8? (I hear they're less than $20Kish nowadays) or even a VY SV8 (250Kilowatts) for about $25K?

yeah thought you'd wana be unique.. mate they can catch you but as long as you get the car engineered once you got it modified you;ll be sweet. as for the epa there are other guidelines... it keeps on giong.

ssn8r, how much did it cost for you to supercharge your ss? what psi are you running it at? how hard does it go? I want it for more power. im also after more low down torque that wont cost an arm n a leg any suggestions...... i think i may be going over board i want everything lol but hey cant stop a kid from dreaming
