Agreed. That is one of the beauties of supercharging. My car drives virtually like it was NA only with 180 or so more horsepower. Turbos, on the other hand, change the driveability of the car fairly dramatically IMHO.

I will tell that my only regret is not doing it sooner. You can definitely drive lower in the rpm band. I used to never drive with the M button off, now it is hardly ever on. The surge of power at 4,000rpm is unbelievable all while being otherwise unnoticeable in everyday driving.
Why did I do it? Acceleration. If my winter beater truck did not have 93K on the odometer, I would supercharge that too

Realistically you are looking at 10-20 honest whp from a good tune on 91AKI. A entry level VT1-535 SC kit will give you 110+whp over stock.

MPG increases when out of boost " light throttle & under 4K rpm " due to injectors not having to work as hard to get the car rolling .( bigger injectors Proper tune = efficiency )
Now under boost you will average 15 to 14 mpg and i have never seen less then 13 mpg and that's with serious all day hard driving. FYI i get these calculations by dividing full tank gallons into total miles achieved during that full tank usage ( example 16 gallons Divided 220 miles = 13.75 mpg ) |

Sorry forgot to mention a powerchip as well. Which gave my one friend enough bhp to beat a C63 in a race to 120 so it's looking pretty good for me. Also a lot cheaper |

A powerchip?? You know powerchip is just a tuning company right, not something you add on top of a tune.

As I debated this one I came to realize that I enjoy listening to that great M3 powerplant run up through the gears. An S/C would run it up that much faster, and in a perverse way, lessen the fun - at least that little part of it. I also didn't want to change the character of the car in any way because it's about perfect right now. Plus, I'm investing the $$ I saved in other track toys. My 2 cents.
