Lately I've become let down with my Max's performance, it's just not fast enough. I was thinking of dropping a supercharged chevy 350 v8 in there. What do you guys think? It should fit right?

punkdork I can relate to you there. My max just doesn't feel as fast as it used. A supercharged V8 would be nice. What makes my max feel quick again is taking a short drive in slower car (e.g. 4-cylinder Camry, Accord ,Civic, ect.). After that, my Max feels so much better and has seemingly shaved 0.5 sec off the 0-60 time. It works like magic every time.
