Get the kit if the price + a jon bond rebuild, and supercharger side catch can is at least 500$ cheaper then buying new when all is said and done. But i would really plan on WMI and or E85 especially if not intercooled. You can reach out to some vendors you might be able to find the intercooler upgrade kit for about 1600$. Could possibly have Jon bond install the intercooler supercharger plate when doing rebuild.

Any supercharger should have a intercooler, especially the sprintex. Or at very least E85/WMI. Once intake temps sky rocket all HP gains are gone. On the sprintex with No intercooler you get 1-2 good pulls before your power is dropped to full bolt on NA, with intercooler it’s about 5-6 pulls, with E85 alone maybe 3-4, WMI alone maybe 4-5, WMI or E85 + intercooler and it will never really be an issue.
