THAT would be worth the price of admission. The 40 hp difference between the 4.4i and 4.8is is nothing comared to conservatively 105-135 hp that can be extracted from the 4.4i safely using supercharger, tuning, intake, and exhaust.

I agree...the difference in price between a 4.8is and a 4.4i isn't worth it. The 4.8is is roughly $13k more than a comparably equipped 4.4i. Granted $2500 of it is for the body kit, but for that kind of money, you could mod your 4.4i to be much faster than a 4.8is. I say do it if you have the need for speed (and power).
Oops...didn't see the last message until i was done.
