Default Should i s/c my si 1st?

i got a new 07 si like the week it came out.(all the 06 were gone). i Loveing this car. it is a big step up from my 93 dx(R.I.P). i started saving up some money for mods when i got the car. so, i at the point were i fixing to put a stage 3 s/c in it. was going to put only a stage 2 put for a few more hundered i could put a stage 3.

Where have you been hearing good things about them? I have not heard of anyone with a Redshift, specially a stage 3.

If you get it, be sure to post how things are working. I know the blower manufacturer is good, but I "heard" they were having a real challenge with fuel tuning with the higher boost. Be nice to hear from someone who actually has one.

If you really love your car you should probably just stick wish a stage two. One of the disclaimers of the stage three superchargers they make is that it kills your engine life where as they "claim" that the stage 2 doesn't do near as much to the average life of the engine.

those kits were on sale like 2 weeks ago for about 4295. and if u are going supercharger, u need to get at least an exhaust and an intake and maybe a header. for 6k there is a hell of a lot u can do to the car. do u want to void ur warranty or do u want to make it look and drive amazing? u need to figure out exactly what u want from it. if i were u, i would wait until someone else gets the redshift kit so u cna see how it performs instead of being the tester. its all up to u and what u are looking to get outta the car.
