i'll answer only if you send me larger pictures of that hottie in your sig!!!

j/k

compression test before you do it... general maintinance... any problems wiht the car now?? get them fixed..

thing to do/get....

clutch
check plugs regularly
only the best pump gas you can find
change oil frequently
dont beat on it at every light
look for leaks and bolts loosening

pretty much it for a supercharger...

now how bout those pics

Are you saying he is gonna get a intercooler with the SC? Like as in the Jackson Racing supercharger?

Ahh ART come on!! Let him post it!! Tell him to just consider a turbo, the maintanence in reality is better in my opinion than a supercharger due to the fact you don't have to change a freakin belt every 10 or 15k miles! Good luck
