This is the ONLY electric supercharger that works...
Most of the ebay ones are Boat Bilge pump blowers and move well under 750 CFM

Don't waste your money.

CFM is not boost. Boost is CFM under pressure, those things are a joke.

See this to get a perspective of the power it takes to spool a supercharger.

check/search for the budget mods thread in here, but for a quckie..

Intake (trueflow or k/n) just my opinion
Exhaust..
used tuner
full tank of gas...oh wait you said budget..

not performance mods, but another good budget idea is to add temp sensors, and change fluids, diff covers.
