Default Worth it to supercharge?

I'm having a big internal debate about SCing my 2010. I've been planning on buying the roush M90 for at least 6 months now. At first it was to be able to play with some vettes but now it's more to keep up with the 5.0's. But, (and the big delema) I'm about a month out from being able to affort the SC but got to thinking. I can't even remember the last time I got close to red line or even got over 75 mph's. Yes, I'm kind of a boring driver.

I just love the feeling of accelerating, spot light to spot light, which got me to thinking. Is it worth SCing the car or should I just put in 4.10's and have the car tuned? I guess my delema comes from the fact I don't even use the full cars potential now so I'm wondering if I'd use the SC.

What are your thoughts? Anyone start off like this and change after getting a SC?

If you are thinking about a supercharger now you will end up getting one. I'd say get the M90 and 4.10's.

Hell yeah it makes a difference, the first time I drove mine supercharged it made me wonder why the hell Ford didn't make them at least a factory option.. and that was with only 350whp! lol

You better hurry up and get one of the M90s before they're all gone!

If there were tv commercials for s197 superchargers they would end with "priceless"

Is it worthwhile to have sex with a gorgeous, long-legged blond with big ****? Is it worth it to eat a REAL Philly cheesesteak after having sex with a gorgeous, long-legged blond with big ****?

Cease with the stupid questions and mod the thing. You only live once. Besides, with the SC you may stand a bigger chance with the blond...

Just do it I waited until the 1st oil change at 1500 miles, and I only look back to smile at those I pass. I would not do the m90 you need room to grow
