Apart from Doug Levin, Golden West and SVSi, are there many other companies that have supercharger kits for the Viper or has anyone purchased and self installed a supercharger? I am really starting to become more interested in the supercharger side rather that the turbo.
Please note, i'm not a viper owner (YET) so i'm not looking at prices, just opinions and stuff, cheers!

The amount of modifications it takes to supercharge and extract more horsepower from a car that already has 450 hp on tap is VERY intense. To keep it simple; There are too many variables to overcome with the Vipers present status. As you know, we supercharge Vipers on a regular basis. I have yet to find two Vipers that require the same modifications to install a reliable system, of course that's BEFORE they leave our shop. If I felt at *the present time* we could sell a bolt-on system for our customers to install themselves it would have already been accomplished. We are already at capacity building and installing SC systems and it would certainly relieve our stress load.
I won't deny we will never offer a customer DYI, but I strongly believe it will take more time to pursue that route for the customer themselves to obtain 100% reliability.
