From everything I read it helps forced induction cars out alot. I know it should help N/A but is it worth it? How much $$$ are we talking about. I'm trying to come up with the cash for the S/C but I'm also looking into a Turbo as so many max's are supercharged. Where is a good shop to have it done either in the MD/VA area or in NYC area?

i believe most 4th gen cars found no real gain from this.
