Add Hp Cheap!

How can I add more HP to my 2000 GT the cheapest way possible?

What's the skinny on used superchargers?

NOS is cheap up to 150hp for about 520.00.

Save your money and DO NOT BUY A USED SUPERCHARGER. Purchase either a Nitrous kit or save for a Supercharger.

Never experimented with pony car steriods before but heard it can put some extreme wear and tear on engine. Any truth to this?

I had 101k miles on my car when I started with Nitrous and didn't like trying to find a place to fill the bottle so installed a Supercharger and now have 136k miles on the car and it still runs like new and I am at 495 RWHP on a car that only has ported stock heads. Now the 5.0 is a much stronger motor that the 4.6 when it comes to internal parts and I am probably at my limit before I split my block in half but I am sure since I drive the car 25k miles a year and that includes 60+ track visits a season that I will find the limit to engine life.
