Wow, I priced a brand new 2003 here, after wheeling and dealing, I got it down to 32K out the door.

Don't always trust what the dealer will sell ya! I have a vortech and many more things added to my S2k and I love everything I have done to it. The guys at Honda Land where talking to me about a sponcership for my car but I didn't car for what they had to offer or how much true experience they seem to have!!!

I think it's common sense that if you add a supercharger that makes the engine work harder, you might not expect it run as long as one without. I believe the engine teardown or rebuild would come sooner with a supercharger.

Yes, Instead of getting 200,000 miles out of the motor you may only get 120,000. I can live with that. I probably won't wait that long to tear into the motor anyway.

Also, I agree with Charlotte. I wouldn't trust the salespeople. It is too easy to show abuse from racing. Even if you don't. I bet they would claim you did and not cover damages. Look how many people have a hard time getting them to cover a blown motor even stock. "Well you must have over-reved it.

Be careful and get everything in writing.
