Remember that those percentages are not at peak numbers. Closer to 20% with a great torque curve and well worth it on a base.

and keep in mind its for the Vibe not the Vibe GT, just incase!! im sure you know which vibe you got, but beleive it or not they onlly make the supercharger for the base vibe, i think it could work on AWD just isnt recommended for whatever reason(All wheeld drive model has the same engine as Base Vibe)Base Vibe/AWD Vibe=VVT-i 1ZZ EngineVibe GT=VVTL-i 2ZZ Enginei have 2k to possibly blow but i dought ill get to blow any of it as well raider if you have any money left over a "Unichip" will not only help performance, but Gas milage, and overall engine stability, it goes for about 730 USD, about what would be left over after purchasing a Supercharger, it will help alot!!, in basically every way possible
