Thinking about getting a Supercharger...

Which one should I get?

I know of three brands that make them for our cars:

ATI
Vortech
Paxton

And where can I find them at a good price?

u have no idea how many times this question is asked, Without a doubt its ATI, they sell their 12PSI procharger with a 3 core intercooler which means no ignition retard is necessary just change plugs and oil and ur done, ATI recommned u change spark plugs every 8,000 miles and oil every 3,000 miles i believe the kit goes for $2,890.00

Thats what I am looking for now. But shipping to Sweden + import taxes are a bitch so maybe I'll catch a flight to the US and visit a friend and bring one back with me home.....

Well, import taxes here is about 30% and it'd cost me like $360 for a roundtrip ticket to L.A....

Exactly as much as UPS shipping to Sweden would cost...

Other than that, I work as a IP Network Engineer, so I don't exactly have a big shortage of $$$...

I am not a CCIE yet, but I have the same tasks as one at work...

Can't seem to find anyone who sells the ATI unit... at least not for under $3000.

Where can I get one?
