Default My opinion is.......
I have an automatic tC and decided to go with a supercharger for that extra push. Now can anyone help out with some advise. What areas of the car should I pay attention to so I can maintain the car in good condition. Should I pay attention to gas grade, extra upgrades for tuneups so this way I wont be screwed by the dealer advise.

Extra note what does anyone recommned for suspension with HOTCHKIS springs

With/without superchargers, never miss your scheduled oilchange.

Change oil every 3000 miles. Never miss an oil change. Run nothing less than 91 octane. Don't beat the living ____ out of it.
