Super charged Sunfire? Never heard of that but it would still be pretty cool.

yea GM came out with a kit for the 2.4L a few years ago. Built to run on stock internals. All that was needed was a computer tune from GM.

Sweet, I've tossed the idea of super charging my Jimmy around in my head, but really don't have the money to do it.

It was asked before, but how much was it to re-upholster?

Nice job overall, I love tasteful customs. Thanks for keeping the stock body lmao, all of our eyes appreciate it.

Those yellow rims would look cool, they'd REALLY pop out with the rest of the car being black.

The seats were actually from a friends cavalier. the car had the same seats in it. He totaled his cav and sold me the seats for $200.00. it cost close to $600 to have them done.

and yea i kept the body pretty stock minus the wing. Im not a fan of body kits. Maybe a lip kit if they ever made one for this.

Any reason why you'd go supercharged over turbo? You'd never see the power out of a supercharger that you would out of a turbo setup. I suppose price is a major factor though eh?.

Yea price is the big issue, not just for the turbo setup but also for the upgrades needed fuel, ignition ect. Also turbo managment plays a big part aswell. lot more complex then a supercharger.
