have you ever tried putting the maf in front of the supercharger, it may run better.
those KVF maf's get sketchy when they see boost.

Yup...but that would come with 1 million dollar nobel prize. Then again he would have to use the prize money to figure out how to not let the particles decay. Cuz then he would be stuck with a stock 92 again!!

I've had it like this since I put the charger on about 600 miles ago, and it runs flawlessly. With the maf before the charger, I would have to recirculate the bov, and deal with more plumbing and wiring. It's been great so far, so I see no reason to change it.

Search man. Cheapest would be nitrous. Pick up a used kit and run a 100 shot all day. Do it right though, window switch and wideband gauge at the least. I'm in just under 1k for my supercharger project, and I got a great deal on parts from Blizzy, would normally be more expensive. An m90/m112 would be even more expensive, due to the new manifold and all.

supercharger $5k
Headers (needed with SC) $2k
ECU, pipe, IC, injectors, etc, $3k

or you can turbo it but that will cost about the same if not more (depending on how much those manifolds will cost)

Other than that there really is no cheap option for power. Go to lextreme and gather info if you like. I wouldnt mind a N/A bui9ld but I havent sourced aggressive cams I like yet.
