Supercharger vs. alot of add ons? Is there really a big difference in power?

So what is the true difference in power (HP), (Torque) if I do just a Supercharger compared to this below: Anyone have some true numbers here?

1. Exhaust
2. CAI
3. Cat
4. Plenum
5. Chip
6. Headers
7. ECU reprogrammed

I figured I could save more on the add ons since I already have the exhaust, chip, & CAI. All I need is the headers, Cat, Plenum, and ECU. Probably around $ $3500-$4000 compared to $12K plus for the SC.

i think if you DO ALL those upgrades, you'll probably have 40-60hp at the crank
but keep in mind, with all those upgrades, you'll probably spend more or close to the cost of the SC

I think you've already made up your mind and are looking for some backing from your choice... (Don't take this the wrong way, plesae)

You left one factor out when you posted though.... FUNDS.... If you're asking "with" a budget in mind then you may get the answer you're looking for. But I would assume that if you asked the same question and added to the end "but on a budge" you might get people pointed in the direction I think you're heading for.

Once again, don't be offended by my statements as I'm just shooting from the hip here.

I didn't mention a budget because I don't have one. This will turn into a business expense for me. I'm not paying anything for it myself whatever I do.

+1 on that call, but why do we stop there? No, budget? Hell, let's just go with a CGT....

Never hear a C2 owner claim to have "no-budget" and not head straight for the biggest gains possible... IME

Why not buy a turbo? You are not paying for it anyways and a Turbo can get much much faster with much much less mods.
