My opinion - no. Doing that would lead to a very exciting, but brief remaining life for your PT.
Look into putting the money to a new PT - Turbo lites aren't as expensive as GTs. Clean yours up for trade - there are some deals out there - may a good used GT?
+1. Use that cash for the supercharger as a down payment on top of the trade in on a Hi-Po. You still have more HP with the HiPo( not to mention a MUCH better base for performance) & a warranty to boot. Now with the Chrysler employee+ $3500 cash back you could get a GT convert for about 16K( trade, plus cash back, plus $3000(supercharger money) ). That is about 250/month WITH a good APR.
Just looking at these numbers there is no reason to dump cash into that car to make it faster. SO you have a car payment. Yes, but when yo ubolt a 'charger to a old engine you will have about a $5000 rebuild on your hands. That is about 2 years in car payments. That si if NOTHING else goes wrong( fuel pump, transmission, ect..)
