Those prices are way off there are plenty of other options out there then the XV

My first stop was what I believe to be your web site, but I didn't find any prices on EFI & harness kits for supercharged Gen III hemi.  My second stop was XV because I knew they would have a posted price a modern hemi kit.  XV has a significantly cheaper EFI setup, but it isn't recommended for 500+ hp engines.  I am not an expert on forced induction, but I do know that that fuel delivery is the last place to "save" a few dollars with a supercharged engine.  Boost means no margin for error with the AF ratio.  Personally, I would rather be safe than sorry.

 Do you have the ability to fabricate stuff? You can do a turbo kit for dirt cheap for a few grand if you build it yourself. As far as efi for a few grand you could do megasquirt for a little more you could buy a used fast or big stuff 3. Also if you found a core block you could rebuild that with good parts cheaper then you could buy one for. If you wanted a turnkey setup you will have to pay for peoples talent if you do it yourself and shop for deals you. An do it on the cheap. I found my 6.1l for 2k with wiring and trans it was posted at 3pm I called and agreed to buy it by 5. Good luck

You do not need all of of that. if you are buying a Supercharger kit it comes with the upgraded fuel system to run the kit, As for harness and controoler it is on our site. you are looking at about $1500.00 for both.

That right there just saved you guys 1500 bucks :)
