A number of blokes here have put superchargers on their cars, particularly I6s, but quite often the SC and gear appears for sale a number of months later.

Not sure exactly why, but it appears to be something that people can't get absolutely right.

I've also noticed that there's a number of SC'ed V8s around, and they have ended up the same way, or have taken a while to sell.

I understand you want to do something different, but I suspect all that will do is cost you a packet (which really is overcapitalising for the I6), for no extra resale value later on, and give you a lot of headaches.

Of course the car and hard earned cash is yours and the decision is all yours.

I wouldn't do it though.

I'd probably sell the XR6 and Get a AU 220 V8 with 5 speed and give that a few mild mods (exhaust, extractors, CAI) and be done with it.

All the best with your deliberations.
