that will give you that amount of boost plus around 600ish to tune and assuming you can't install it thats another 500-1000$ at least.
Not to mention the basic bolt ons you would have to have to make use of the supercharger. Then you'll have a 300WHP car that
blows the tires off unless its got slicks on it. So I'm assuming the OP doesn't reccomend the car because his civic
accelerates better with a S/C on it?
news flash, the ct and jackson superchargers are already tuned. you send your ECU in for the supercharger reflash. And its already included in the price of the kit.

only way you have to pay for tuning with the supercharger is if you go the flashpro route and want to tune it your self.
