C43 mods?

I have a C43 that I am not at all happy with, but I am stuck with it. So, I was wondering what I could do to get some more power without spending a fortune. The Brabus motor is absurdly priced ($30K???!!!) and the Stillen blower is pretty spendy at $18K (esp. given the total parts cost to them is probably $3K). So, what are the options, besides N2O? Should I just fabricate a Paxton or Vortech based blower system? I just want another 80-100 hp or so.

You HAVE to use the Kleeman kit!

They make a supercharger that fits in the V and is based on the Autorotor. It is water to air intercooled as well! You have to get the kit installed at an authorized Kleeman dealer.

I am in the process of looking for a donor car and an owner that is willing to invest in this kit. I will do all of the work for 1/2 labor to get this off of the ground.

We are located in Atlanta GA.

Check out kleeman for some of your answers. Also, there are several Kleeman distributors in the US. I am attempting to go into that market, but with limited funding, it is difficult.
