I always try to remind people of a few things when talking about dreams of being boosted or higher output of their current power levels. See, most people have this majic little hp number inwhich they have in their little heads that will satisfiy them if they hit it. 90% of my buds end up hitting this little number and, suddenly it becomes unsatisfactory once the goal was met. Almost like a "Hit it and Quit it" type deal. My opinion, is that you will prolly....not be happy with the power/to/price ratio of going N/A.

These prices reflect labor:
1. N/A for about 6-12k depending on how you build it out (Low power output with a high price tag)
2. Turbo for about 11-15k (High output and scalable on the fly to ones needs)
3. SC for about 8-9k (Mid-range power output but not scalable AKA: Stuck with what you got but; for a sweet price)

With a supercharger you really are getting your money worth and some. Turbo is not for everyone and can cost a 3rd more but power can be adjusted on the fly. Going fully built N/A on a VQ37 has never really been done so I can't start to make assumptions. It my be worth it, but something tells me it is not. Just my 2cents
