Supercharger installation in LA area

Im looking to buy a supercharger very shortly (if the deal works out) I was wondering where you guys would recommend to get it installed for a quick but also professional place that I would hopefully not have any problems. I understand that quick does not always mean good, so a place that would get it done CORRECTLY as quick as possible...any ideas? I know street image is good, but are there any other places as well?
Thanks

If your going with a Stillen SC, best to have them install their kit. GT Motorsports can install SC kits, as well as tune and dyno. StreetImage has done several FI G's/Z's, but no dyno. If you dont mind driving to S.D., PM Chad " Protocav ", he can install for alot less.

go to performance nissan..... depending which sc you want on will determine the price...it's not cheap, but not overly expensive, but it is a nissan dealership so if something goes wrong, at least they can guarantee their work.....

im looking to get the Vortech S/C. would performance nissan have the capabilities to do that? do they have a dyno as well? SD is kinda far for me, but if i can save a lot of money I am willing.. I want a good tune get some good gains so I don't blow engine. Thanks

call protocav up... he is awesome, will give you a good deal...

you are really thinking of going to a DEALERSHIP to have your supercharger installed?

If you go to such a place, or even a good tuning shop... you are not going to "be there" for the install. good luck on getting performance nissan to even let you look underneath your car (stupid insurance reasons, not PNP's fault).

If you have chad (protocav) install it, you can be there for the process and you will know your car better.... hey... it is YOUR car!

Performance Nissan actually does numerous turbo and s/c installations. I did call them but they wanted 1500 to install the charger.

Chad will install it for probably half that. Save the extra$ for tuning and other parts to keep your G safe like gauges. He can also install your gauges.

Depending on what other performance mods you have, Vortech out of box on stock G, does not need any tuning. The Dyno-shop in Santee, Im sure Chad is familiar with that shop.

If you get it installed with Chad, you can get it tuned by Speed Force Racing in Santee. That's what I plan on doing with my Vortech.
