which supercharger?
looks like im gonna be getting a nice tax return so my plans for a supercharger are being pushed ahead a little
so, my question to the collective mind is, which supercharger should I be looking to get? the older cream/tan/off white colored one, or the newer black one? is there any benifit to either? which holds up better? which one is more modifyable for more boost and or reliabilility?
I already know im going to be spending alot more to get her to fuel correctly, im looking at the URD supercharger fuel upgrade kit ($999.00), is there any other costs I should be factoring in (aside from exhaust and headers)? or is this going to turn into something of a cash sucking monster, kinda like my gun collection, always wanting and needing something new and more?
also, anybody have a hook up on cheap () superchargers?
eta: almost forgot.. 00 sport, 5speed, 4X4, 93k miles

I prefer the black (2nd gen) simply from a "how it looks" perspective. If I am not mistaken there were a few changes to the 2nd gen though; boost port, 7th injector port, and casing redesign. There might be a couple of other minor things.
Be sure to get an auto-belt tensioner (it was $60 or so) and see if you can scrounge up the nose brace too. You will be running premium fuel of course and it's always smart to run an EGT guage and good AFR unit to know exactly what you're tuning and how.
If you have an Auto trans you will need a valve body upgrade ($700 or so). If you have a manual, you may need a clutch depending on the condition of your current pressure plate/disc/flywheel ($500). Those prices are installed by you.
So, in summary, $1500 or so for a used SC'r. $1000 for fuel/timing upgrade kit. $700 - $1000 for tranny or clutch upgrades. EGT/AFR, $300 or so. Add $.20/gal for premium fuel too.
Oh, and if you get a used SC'r, you might need to get it rebuilt depending on its condition. That will run you about $700 if you have it done at Magnuson like I did...

You guys laugh but this one actually works:

....but it's more like NOS than a S/C because you can only hit it for a couple of seconds.
Fullmann, you should absolutely be looking at the valve body upgrade as well (about $700).
......ask Midiwall, it ain't fun to swap out trannys.

The IPT VB upgrade is actually more like $525 + shipping, but lots of guys pay $$$ extra for express shipping.

dont have to worry about a valve body upgrade as its a 5speed, clutch maybe, but I can wait til mine goes south before I replace it.

Other than that I agree to get a 2nd gen S/C (black one) and the URD fuel upgrades (better option than the 7th injector IMHO) to go with it. Sometimes you'll see an entire used setup come up for sale on eBay (S/C and URD) but you need to keep an eye out since they aren't very often.

IPT's charge is $575:

Shipping will depend on where you are and of course how fast you want it. With my truck belly up, I paid $35 from Seattle to NJ via USPS. I told them "slow boat" for the ride back, and that was still $30 via UPS. Then don't forget to add the cost of 5-7 quarts of tranny fluid for the re-install.
