Weistec Supercharger Kit
Those who have the kit, I am curious to know a couple things:
1) How much you paid for the complete setup (parts and install separately) if possible
2) What stage you decided on
3) Would you invest the money if you had to do it over again
I am seriously considering getting one and would really appreciate some feedback.
Thanks guys!

There are a billion Weistec S/C threads. Just search it and those questions + others you haven't thought of will be answered.
1. Cost depends on what stage you go with. Call Weistec and they'll give you a quote.
2. Stage 1 and 2 have minimal differences. Stage 3 is a different story. I recommend Stage 2, more than enough power. Stage 3 = many more expenses (like a new tranny).
3. I'm sure anyone who has done it would do it again in a heartbeat. If anything, I can see some wanting to bump up an additional stage than they have gone and I'm sure others are more than happy where they are.
Again, just run Weistec Supercharger through the search button and grab the reading glasses. You'll be there for a while.

[QUOTE=johnnyblaze;5974133]-Be ready to spend $15-25k easily. ( maybe more )
-Make sure you have it done by Weistec ( don't ever consider someone else doing the work )
-Dont skimp on the cooling mods. ( I have to say , I didn't do the cooling mods and never had an issue....but if I did it again , I would go all out next time )
-If you do Stage 2 and daily drive, invest on built transmission. ( might as well go Stage 3 and not look back ) [/QUOTE]
I added my two cents

C63 Weistec Supercharged
Mine is stage1 and it's awesome....thinking of stage 2 which is simple to upgrade (only expense being the long tube headers)
I would do it again tomorrow if I got another c63.
1st supercharged (and only c63) in the uk

10 C six trizzle
hell ya it's worth the money. Instant off idle 500 torques. I'd highly consider the valve body upgrade along with stage 2, obviously built trans would be even better but not necessary. As mentioned if you're going to do the built trans might as well go stage 3. Since you have an mct car upgrading the transmission cooler to the black series one would be a very good idea aswell, especially being in hot vegas. You also definitely need a limited slip if you dont have one already. Labor wise a reasonable charge would be 20-30hrs for the supercharger kit alone. Its going to cost even more for headers, transmission, etc... There's a really good tech at fletcher jones in vegas and shop forman that would probably be able to handle the install professionally and correctly as well.
