Yeah, that's why I said "if." Also, as well know, there tends to be an Aston (or Ferrari or Lamborghini) tax that tends to creep into to the cost.

BR, VAP, and RSC all offer bolt-on options that net about 40 hp.

Why don't you ask Herschel at RSC about his supercharger that he advertised. Said he had a complete package ready to go. Tuning included. I know the guy who has a horror story to tell.
