Depends on your definition of cheap

[Advancedautosec]

hey fastblackmerc. I mean cheaper than $4-5000. do you know what kind of labor costs i could be looking at?

Look at the non IC AtoA Dennis just put together.

[Advancedautosec]

on his website?

[Raudermaster]

It's not on the site yet. Look at it through his forum. If you're a good know how wrench, you and a buddy could probably install it in 4-8 hours taking your time I'm sure.

Look at the link to my Garage, My Mods should answer your questions.

I used my car for 6 months with the convertor as a daily driver and it I had no issues at all. On a g-tech I pulled a 13.8, I plan to get to the track very soon to have a official timeslip. Traction is everything and launching on the street off the convertor is not a easy feat.

For the 4-5K I don't think a Trilogy is not in your future. Contact Dennis Reinhart or Greg at FIT maybe you can get a supercharger from them. I believe most of the supercharger kits can be installed by someone who is comfortable working on his car with average mechanical ability. You can most likely get it installed in a weekend. Don't know what a shop would charge since there are different labor rates across the county.

From the factory the Marauder was equipped with a weak air conditioning system. My first mod was to replace it and upgrade to make it through the blazing Chicago heat 3 months out of the year. I gave up a little on the pretty side, but the functionality of the A/C improved dramatically. I don't have a picture of my Marauder exactly, but here is the general kit layout from the manufacturer.
