Interested in purchasing the stage 1 adtr supercharger kit for my 2004. Has new factory torque converter. Can the car really handle it stock and is it worth the money? Adtr has the only kits I have liked so far but they aren't cheap..

It's the only off the shelf type kit avail. Keep the rwhp 425 to 450 and should be fine with a good tune

73 is the best number.
I don't know anything about the kit, but Chris has a good reputation on CVN, so I'd bet it will be well-engineered.

I'm going to do headers and maybe high flow cats first... not sure what to do yet though. Any suggestions? Or other modifications I should make before getting supercharger.. car has 100k on it

Either rebuild your engine with all forged internals (short block and heads) or buy one from Livernois Motorsports. Also, you will need a beefer transmission: Silverfox.Originally Posted by Jakeberg

If I need to do all that then the car unmodified can't handle a stage 1 kit? Or is that a milage issue too

You can on a stage one. Stock motors and trans have been proven reliable around 450whp. As long as the car has had regular maintenance there shouldn't be much of an issue. Just be prepared if something breaks.

The stage 1 kit will be fine on your stock motor as long as it's in good running condition , i would consider an aftermarket stall converter, and 4:10 gears , you definitely need to talk to Chris at ADTR.

I'd do big brake coversion first, so you will be able to slow down better, before you add the kit...

I planned on doing brakes and suspension too. Needs rear suspension work, any suggestions while keeping the self leveling bags? I'm gonna have the car ready before I add the power, unsure on what to get though
