Eh, teach her. A problem would be if she wasn't okay with you spending the couple grand, lol.

I said the same thing about this swap.

Once I get a second car, that goes out the window, 6spd swap definitely is the way to go.

If she is good with you getting a S/C, then you already got past the hard part!

the comptech supercharger is not worth it at all. its a m62 which isn't even recommended to be used for a v6 of our displacement, i believe its the same one that people use on s2000s. they get super hot and make 0 power. i know if it was me, and i may know what I'm talking about, i would just run a 75 wet shot of nitrous. you'll make more power then the sc with just a 75 shot and it will be safer since it won't be constant extra power on the transmission, less stress on the motor, and its $1000s cheaper. i personally would never buy a comptech supercharger. If you had a 6 speed and a j32/j35 i would recommend a 175-250 direct port shot of nitrous (yes the j series loves nitrous as much as the LSx motors)

^The other option instead of the Comptech S/C is to use the M90 S/C from the Ford Thunderbird. You would need to make a custom arm for it though, and unless you have your own/connections to a machine shop, you would need to contact the guy who does make the package in VA, NVA-AV6(Paul).

Ahh nitrous sounds yummmy!! But id just want to keep my car simple u know? Nothing out of the ordinary..
So this thunderbird s/c u speak of.. Is it pretty much gonna have the same risk factor as the comptec im assuming..how much u think it wuld cost to hae a custom arm made??

No, the M90 is a much more durable option for the J-series.

Paul makes the package for about $2800, last I checked.
