Default to supercharge or wait

I have a 22013 GT/CS with auto. Love the car. I have only done the Ford race tune and love it.
I have thought about having a Roush supercharger installed by Roush at their plant in MI.
Also I have thought about maybe waiting for the 2015 Mustang to come out and maybe getting something like a Shelby, if they make one, or whatever ford comes out with.
What would you do if you were in my place?

thanks

Wait until mid 2014 when the new car is unvieled. If you don't like it then put the super charger on the 2013.

You can look into the twin turbo as well. I found out about it a week ago. They are making some very impressive numbers on a stock block. Just one more option. I was thinking SC all the way until I saw this. www.twinturbo50.com

Twin turbos would be awesome, but waiting is probably for the best. There will always be something better, but since the 2015 model is a year away it's a short wait. Save your money, see if you like the 2015 (shelby or otherwise) and then make your decision. Also keep a lookout for a used kit, I know you want it installed by roush but sometimes finding a great deal on the classifieds will change your mind.

I have the 575 hp supercharger on my 2012 mustang and I am totally impressed. Just by getting a tune from JDM will push over 600hp with out any other mods. It rocks.

If you have the money to burn wait for the new model and spend the moey to upgrade it.

Good luck,

Al

Default Roush 540 - 675 upgrade

got a 2012 GT 5.0 - stock - put the Roush 2300 on top after about 2 months and thought. wow! that's enough. now it's a year later & i'm getting the Phase 3 upgrade (pulley - CAI - Fuel boost) so, i'll be looking at 675. that'll be this week when the order comes in. totally afraid to push it any further w/out forged internals. but, love the supercharger. stock was ok - this is "seat of your pants" everytime you drive.

I'd wait for the unveiling, although I don't think it will be all that much lighter or put out much more HP, I could be wrong, maybe they will shrink it down big time. People were saying the new camaro would weigh 3200lbs and it came out weighing what, 3900lbs?

Depends on your goals and what you want to do with the car. At this point I'm sure I just want to stick with my 2012 (I had a 2007, that at first I liked a lot then I kind of soured on because of the horsepower). I just drag race and when I supercharge I want around 550whp.

I wouldn't do Twin Turbos, unless something changed in the past year they were blowing up engines.

The supercharger you are looking at should be good. On these cars I don't think you can go wrong with roush, vortech or procharger.

Whatever you decide to do, get a Roush supercharger installed on whatever vehicle you end up getting (except for the Shelby of course). Get a tune from VMP and you'll be golden.

I'm in the same boat. I want to add a supercharger, but I am going to wait to see if the 2015 is worth trading for.
