Some did the upgrade because of the goals they had in mind for their cars and others didn't. I guess it all depends on what you are looking for. Now if you throw in the flex fuel side of it that part I do understand.
I didn't mention that I order that kit (e85) before I even thought about going with the procharger but now that I'm going that route I don't needed it. BUT...... if I can't sell it I'm going to just install it. Wasted money.............probably. I'm sure I'm not the first to jump to a conclusion and change my mind 1/2 way through it.
If a time comes I do want more out of it at that point just upgrade the fuel system and I'm there. Its just that right now that's not where my head is at.

Just because people do stuff doesn't make it right. How fast are those stock fuel system supercharger cars? I mean sure you can put a supercharger on your car with stock fuel system if all you are going to do is park it at a car show.
However if you want it to perform up to it's full potential reliably then you should strongly consider the advice provided. A dyno whp number needs to be the least of your concern anyway. Just because a dyno shop hands you a piece of paper showing 600whp does not mean it will actually perform like it makes 600whp on the street.
Imo you are not going to make more then 540ish tops on stock fuel system reliably at a SAFE AFR. A lot tunes I see run these engines too lean to stretch the fuel system. Then you need to consider the fact that 93 pump gas really isn't enough octane for these engines with boost. You end up needing to run very conservative timing and lean afr to get it to squeak by on stock fueling. It's a waste of time. A bolt-on E85 NA car will give you fits in a race.
Either way it's your money do as you wish.
