H3 Superchargers - any news?
Predator Motorsoports emailed me a month ago telling me they had the kit complete and were stress testing it for a few months.
Then they have back-orders until December
Anywhere I can get one quicker?

I have a Magnuson on my Vette, it makes over 6oo ponies and for over a year, I've never had any issues. Magnuson is what is on most all supercharged production packages, so they are tested for durability and reliability. Not saying another brand isn't any good, but I tend to stick with what's proven.

I tend to agree... Having used there products also in past years. They have been around the horn and know the score. There not a new strat up Co.
My last Supercharger was a Vortec on my 86 Vette designed by Carrolle Supercharging Co. And I can also state that you'l get the most bang for your buck with a Supercharger.
Forget about all that bolt on performance stuff... $475.00 for an intake pipe.... and a Filter Etc. All that crap you can chuck out the window. Do it it right... Supercharge It

Maybe...if you do a lot of the work yourself, but you wouldn't get the 3yr/36k mile warranty they are offering too...
Lets see, used 5.3L from the yard... $1200-$1500, maybe as much as 2k.
Lots of work in the engine compartment.
I think the real trouble would be the PCM intregration into everything else the stock PCM wants to control...

Yeah, damn computers! I'm not saying its a bad idea I was mainly just saying that its a lot of $.! Maybe there is a way to "build" the stock motor that would be cheaper than the supercharger?

Actually, it's not that simple, as I was looking into that as well. A forced induction package will get you the most output for the least cost.
