Default $2000 to spend on performance

What would you do if you had $2k to spend on performance upgrades to your saleen ?
Supercharger or heads and cams ?
This is my dilemna .
I really and leaning towards the supercharger at this time .

I don't know what kinda supercharger kit you could get for 2k? Do you have a supercharger already?

I can find a used one for around that .
If I am willing to wait and look for a piece at a time , it can be done. I have found a 03-04 cobra supercharger locally for 2k and that is what he is asking , that only needs injectors.

I don't know what the stock cobra superchargers go for but for a complete kit that sounds like a good deal.

If you can get a supercharger that would be your best upgrade for sure, next would be trickflow heads and cams.

I am not really after alot of power , 325 to the rear wheel is a good number for me.
It seems people are starting to sell superchargers for some reason , either upgrading to something better or need cash.
I had the trick flow set up on a 95 Cobra along with a turbo and really liked it , and that car would scoot ! 427 to the rear wheels @ 6 psi.

True that, but finding either at a $2k price tag is not going to happen.

Either save up the money or use it for gears, suspension & exhaust.

i thought the trickflow heads were around 2k? or do they not include cams? if thats the case, maybe some ported heads from Modular Head Shop that I believe are like 1200.

An 03 blower won't work on your car. You need one for a 2v car 99-04 gt. You can find used KB blowers for around $2500. If you can do the install your in the ball park. Don't forget you will need a tune. That's about $500 as well.

You can find a kit if you look and have cash ready. I bought my Series I kit for $1600. I had to buy injectors/90 mm MAF/tune..luckily I already had an SCT XCAL 3. You can do it for $2500, if you do the install yourself.
