my second question, will it be ok to install it on a stock motor? the car will have about 3000 miles or so when i would get it put on, driven pretty responsibly. i have heard of people doing this, but i want to see what some opinions are. if you think i should rebuild the motor at all please tell me what kind of parts and provide me links for them, thank you guys!

1) if you get stillen supercharger, be prepared for no warranty, and you will require a custom tune. minor issues SO FAR with GTM, who knows what will happen later on. it's forced induction, you're rolling the dice no matter who you go with. not quite sure why you want to upgrade headers + hfcs, think HFCs are good in NA setups, keep stock cats if you want to keep higher pressures, but i might just be drunk and not thinking straight.

2) you're rolling the dice with forced induction. yes, it's been installed on a stock motor before. none of them have blown up..yet. but forced induction means the motor is seeing more stresses, no matter how you drive it.

there, my opinions. please, PLEASE just use the search next time so we don't get a failtrain going...
