I don't know about you but a properly setup turbo kit power will come on like a freight train. I think you'll be much more happy with a turbo setup than your old supercharger. Plus when you get a better turbo you'll like the turbo even more.

Why not use the aluminum block over the iron?

The iron block is stronger, but the main reason is the continental block is FWD so it won't fit in the mustang. A handful of stuff is different on it. Just confirmed everything with LKQ and On3 today. Probably at the end of this week I'll have a ton of parts pictures
