It's not just a daily driver, it's a commuter car, a LONG commute. I already spend outrageous amounts of money on gas - I don't want to make it any worse. That's why.

Then install the new M112 kit from TTI. It's a Magnuson/Eaton Series 5 blower. You could pick up a non-inter cooled kit for about $3500.00 (although I would go inter cooled) for $4400.00. Since you have a long commute in cruise at 65-70 your mileage should get a bit better. On a long 300 mile trip to a car show, we took 2 cars. A 2000 and a 2003. Both were supercharged with the same kit. One got 26.5 and one got 27.5/28 MPG.

Of course you will need to keep your foot out of it light to light. Ad up the cost of all the bolt ons, and then compare it to the cost of an S/C. Keep it at 7 pounds and later on install a smaller pulley and kick it up a bit.
