Beef up my LD9
With tax money about to come in and my judgment once again being a little impaired... I'm debating finally picking up a supercharger kit, doing the secret cam swap and upgrading my header and throttle body to help give the old girl a little extra kick. Is there anything else that I should be considering to get the most out of my LD9 if I go ahead and start into it?
If I do all of this I'm probably looking at around $3000 in parts alone. I have virtually no clue what I"m doing when it comes to all of this customizing, but I'm sure that I can figure it out or pay Milzy to do it for me. What am I missing?

Supercharger available here is just the mp62 with snout and 3.1" pulley for $300. Intake manifold is $100. I asked and no brackets, plumbing, or bolts included.

The other guy is confusing this thread with the info for the eco kit (which is not.complete)
The ld9 kit on j-body is complete and a damn fair price IMO!! Ryan, if you're serious about doing the motor work this is a good buy compared to buying new... if anything find out more about the kit and why he's selling it and search through j-body to see if.he has posted any threads looking for advice or problems while owning the kit...
Just my 2¢ though

Good point to check for issues. There is also a new kit on ebay for $1400.

there's really no reason to buy new, save your money and use the extra for other things
if the MP62 kit was still around, i'd say get that, looks much nicer in the bay. i used to have a goal of putting that supercharger on my car. i had a flange, a fabricator, and a supercharger.
