Thanks a ton for the input. I knew there was stuff out there; just thought I'd ask some folks that knew more than I did.

I know that laughing gas is cheap and it's the quick way to boost power, but a charger is part of the motor. It's there and I wouldn't be having to refill bottles. A charger also seems a bit more practical to me. If this happens, it is going to be on a daily driver, my first and only -it won't be any time soon-, but this leads to another question... manners on the street?

Totally civil. Completely controllable. Invisible when you drive normally, there is just more power when you open the throttle. No weird jumps in the power level like a 125cc 2-stroke motocross bike, if that is what you're thinking.

That's what I thought, and I was pretty sure that daily driving wouldn't be a problem; just wanted to find out from some people that would have had the experience and knowledge of it. Thanks.

If anyone else has a few words of advice, or anything else that would help, that would be appreciated. Thanks.

1) Take wallet out of pocket
2) Remove credit card from wallet
3) Pick up phone and call Edlebrock
4) Order your Supercharger
5) Be prepared for $hit eating grins for the rest of your life.

That's an option... except for one thing, I'm in college.

I'm just getting ideas and seeing what's what, that way if/when the time comes that I have enough money to do what I'd like I won't be wasting money.


Some things that I look forward to if I go this route are the kicks, grins and giggles that I will get, and the other is the look on everyone else's faces.
