So I need to replace my supercharger (@30k miles). I'm guessing the bearings are going (sounds like rocks rolling around in a coffee can). I'll be the first to say: I'm no mechanic and I'm no weekend racer. I drive my car a couple days a week, about 5-6 months a year, depending on the weather here in Southwestern Pa. That being said, I'd like to add some more power by upgrading the sc instead of rebuilding.
My current mods are:
Kooks 1 7/8" long tube headers
Kooks Off-road H pipe
Ford racing Mufflers (previous owner had a Flowmaster catback)
JLT "Big Air" plastic intake
MGW Gen 2
Dynatech Aluminum driveshaft
Ford Racing 3.73 gears (needed repair)
NGK TR6 Spark Plugs
Innovators West 15% Overdrive Harmonic balancer
Thump Racing Tensioner
The car made 537rwhp and now needs a new supercharger and I'll be doing the clutch and suspension this spring as well. My question is: Should I go w/ my gut and get the VMP Gen 2R 720 hp kit or listen to my mechanic and shell out for a KB 2.8? My goal is to build a RELIABLE car for cruising that's putting down at least 750RWHP (my best friend has a Hellcat, im tired of hearing that 707 number)... with the ability to grow later if so desired.
I appreciate any help or insight. I know there have been countless "This VS.That" threads on here and I've learned a ton already... so thanks!
