I would not get it just due to the fact that it's the street kit. You are still going to need some kind of em. The street kit sucks, it just dose not give you that much more. Trust me go with the race kit and kpro. Or you could buy mine . And as far as needing hoses and and other parts make sure he give you a list of what is there and how many miles are on it.

If you can get one that has 7k on it and save some money why buy new? That way you have more money for things like kpro.

Find the miles on the kit. What it has and what it needs. Then get back to us with that and you will get better answers.

If you really know what you're doing, that might be a good price. But if your a JRSC newb, probably best buying a new kit.

What's the difference between the street and race kit? Is it just the pulley?

I wouldn't get that specific supercharger. I would rather go for a new one because of the fact that if it breaks then you have the warranty. Another reason is that the street version isn't as good as the other ones available.

The race kit comes with kpro or reflash, 4inch pully, and 440's. <TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by WhiteOnRice &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">What's the difference between the street and race kit?
