Supercharger vs. Headers and all the upgrades...

[Spenser]

Klaus,

Thanks I appreciate it, I've spent $5475.00 including tax for, headers, computer reprogram (they claim they have written their own program) cool air box (volant without the tube, they changed the box only, everything else is stock) and a B&B stainless steel exhaust system. Now since I've mentioned that it still seems "sluggish" at "in town" driving around speeds, (transmission shift points contribute highly to this I think) they say I need to change the gears to the 4.56, and then, of course, I'll need the oversized radiator as with the gears, and headers, the engine will run hotter and the increased cooling capacity will add life/years to the engine. As I've said, I have till Tuesday, then it goes back in (new compressor pump for the air ride)and They say that they'll do whatever I want. The reps that pushed the parts, and made the claims, were there when this all came about, but have since(2 weeks ago) have left. So my position is that the claims were those of someone that just wanted to make commission, the rep I have now seems sincere, and and hase been there for a few years, and he tells me the headers were a bad idea for the money ($1795.00 installed) in his opinion as he's only seen them installed on 2 other H2's and claims that if I have them taken off, the exhaust will be quieter with the B&B currently installed. Question is this, they sell the magana Supercharger, or Magnason, whichever applies, so why then would my warranty be void if I had a shop install it instead of the dealer, (at half the cost) if the dealer installs the very same bolt on? They charge me $795.00 for the Volant coor air intake, and $1295.00 for the computer reprogram, $1495 for the exhaust, and $1795 for the headers. I'm wondering if I should keep the intake and the computer program, get rid of the exhaust and headers, and have someone here on the site recommend a realiable shop here in Phoenix to install a Supercharger and be done with it. Opinions? Again, I appreciate the responses and concerns.


Best,
